Trout doesn't look at advanced stats because they'd mess with his mojo

With two American League MVP awards to his name, at the age of 25, Mike Trout hasn't reached his ceiling yet as a baseball player.

The analytical world that consists of extensive advanced stats - such as WAR, for example - already have Trout pegged as one of the best, if not the best ever. Currently in the midst of a brilliant stretch of play, Trout admitted he still doesn't value analytics.

"I don't use any of that, if I think launch angle or look at those stats, I'll get all messed up," he said on Tuesday during an appearance on MLB Network Radio.

Though it's fair to assume he doesn't want to hear about it, Trout has some elite numbers so far this season. Entering Tuesday's game, he's hit .343/.464/.741 which are all higher than anything he's accomplished thus far in his career. However, it's still relatively early in the season.

At this current pace, Trout is projected to finish with 39 home runs and 107 RBIs, while hitting .317/.440/.628 with 9.2 WAR. If he continues to stay healthy throughout the season, it might be safe to say the Los Angeles Angels outfielder is well on his way to his third American League MVP award.

Trout, being the modest man he is, still thinks there's room for growth.

"Once you think you got the game figured out, that will come back to haunt you," he said. "There's always things you can improve on."
