Angels' Mike Trout Says MLB Asks Him to Participate in HR Derby 'Every Year'
天使Mike Trout說 聯盟"每一年"都要他參加全壘打大賽
Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout has never competed in the Home Run Derby,
but Major League Baseball isn't going to give up on him.
洛杉磯天使明星球員Mike Trout從來沒參加過全壘打大賽，但是聯盟從來就沒有放棄過這
個想法。
As he explained Thursday, the league continually tries to get him to
participate in the contest.
星期四的時候Trout解釋說，聯盟一直嘗試要他去參加。
"Every year. Every year they ask me," Trout said, per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.
「每一年，每一年他們都會問，」Trout說。
The outfielder has been one of the best hitters in baseball every year since
his rookie season in 2012, finishing in the top four of the American League
MVP voting all seven seasons and winning the prestigious award twice.
從他2012的菜鳥年開始，Trout每年都是聯盟最佳打者之一。過去七年每年都是美聯MVP投
票排名前四，拿過兩次MVP。
He has displayed impressive power during this stretch by hitting at least 25
home runs every year.
而過去這些年來，他也展現令人印象深刻的力量，每年都至少產出25發全壘打。
Trout already has 22 homers in 2019 and entered Thursday tied for third in
the American League. There is no denying he would have the ability to succeed
in a contest like this one.
目前為止，今年球季Trout已經尻了22發，美聯暫居第三。毫無疑問，若是他參加全壘打大
賽的話，他是有這個能力可以拿冠軍的。
Despite his ability, fans around the country haven't received many chances to
see the superstar in action. Between late-night games and the fact the Angels
have only made one playoff appearance in his career—a three-game sweep at
the hands of the Kansas City Royals in the first round of the 2014 postseason
—Trout's time in the spotlight has been limited.
儘管他有能力，球迷們沒有太多的機會可以看到這位超級明星打擊的樣子。除了因為時差
比賽的時間比較晚以及他在天使時只有一次打入季後賽
