Both Wright and Mattingly were outstanding players, but their careers were riddled with injuries due to spinal stenosis. Trout appears to not have this, however, so hopefully his career will not end up similar to theirs.LaceSportsPlug@LaceSportsPlug@barstoolsports If he’s never the same is he making the HOF?@barstoolsports If he’s never the same is he making the HOF?This is after missing some time recently this season. Just prior to this year's All-Star break, Mike Trout was placed on the injured list and has yet to return to the squad.

Here is a look inside Mike Trout's illustrious career.Mike Trout has put up Hall of Fame numbers this past decadeBoston Red Sox v Los Angeles AngelsSince entering the league back in 2011, Trout's numbers have only been replicated by very few in MLB history. Through 12 seasons, Trout has a career .303 batting average. He is the active leader in on base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS. He also already has 334 home runs and is just shy of 1,500 hits. He has been the franchise cornerstone of the Los Angeles Angels.Bush Leaguer@BushLeague101@barstoolsports this is what happens when you put your team on your back for a decade844@barstoolsports this is what happens when you put your team on your back for a decadeThe only downside of his career is that he has not experienced any playoff success yet. He has just one playoff appearance back in 2014 where he was swept by Kansas City Royals. This is not all Trout's fault, as the Angels have failed to put a team around him.Jeff Demers@jdemers51@barstoolsports Carrying the Angels?1@barstoolsports Carrying the Angels?truthhurtz85@truthhurtz85@barstoolsports Yeah it's called I will never win a world series@barstoolsports Yeah it's called I will never win a world seriesHopefully, this back condition does not amount to too much for Trout.
