Angels' Mike Trout is on pace to break 3 personal single-season records in 2026

The Los Angeles Angels have seen Mike Trout return to form this season, in one of the best developments of the season.

But Trout isn't simply back to playing well; he's actually playing better than he has in any season before in his MLB career. Despite winning MVPs, Trout's start to the season has him on pace for a few personal records.

As Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller highlighted, Trout is on pace to break personal single-season records in three key statistics: walks, runs, and, most interestingly, home runs.

Mike Trout on pace to break personal records in 3 stats

"Trout's career high for home runs in a single season is 45, while his previous best marks in runs and walks were 129 and 122, respectively," Miller writes. "But through 35 team games, he is on pace for 46 home runs, 139 runs scored, and 157 free passes."

The Angels center fielder is on pace to set career highs in a few key statistics, with the home-run record the most impressive.

Trout has 10 home runs this season through 35 games, which would have him on pace for 46.28 in a 162-game season. It's going to be difficult to maintain that pace all year, but if he does, his single-season HR record is within reach.

When it comes to runs scored, Trout has 30 in 35 games, which has him on pace for 138.85 runs scored over a 162-game season.

His previous career-best is 129 runs in a season. He's well on his way to breaking this record, but it's still far from a guarantee.

Lastly, he has 34 walks in 35 games, which is the most in baseball this season, and would have him on pace for a ridiculous 157 walks on the year.

His previous record was 122 walks in a season, so while he's well on his way to breaking this record, it's hard to imagine he would have such a drastic improvement on his previous career-best from his prime.

Trout breaking his personal best in walks and runs might be possible, but his home run record might be a bit of a stretch. As good as he's been this year, the 34-year-old Trout may run out of steam a bit over the course of the year.
