Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout has landed fifth in the MLB's list of top 10 center fielders in the league. Former All-Star Chris Young agrees with his position on the list.
The 33-year-old outfielder has struggled with injuries, which has led many to assume that his best is behind him. Discussing this year's list of top center fielders on the MLB Network, Young defended Trout's value on the field, though:
"There's a few guys - we have Luis Robert, Byron Buxton and Mike Trout. We have three guys who are high reward but there is some risk as far as if they're gonna be healthy or not. If they are healthy, all three of those guys, I'm taking Mike Trout every time. Because if he's healthy, he's number 1 next year. No doubt in my mind."
