While Mike Trout may no longer be the lock for the number one pick in fantasy baseball, the Los Angeles Angels superstar should thrive in 2023. If he can remain healthy, Trout should easily provide owners with first-round value as the future Hall of Famer was highly productive towards the end of last season.

Depending on your league's scoring and format, experts are projecting him in the 13-22 range of all players entering the 2023 season. This makes him a bargain in drafts.

A look at Mike Trout's 2022 season
Last season with the Los Angeles Angels, Trout proved yet again why he has a legitimate claim for the "Greatest of All Time" crown. The veteran superstar hit 40 home runs with 80 RBIs in 119 games.
"I go out there with one mindset and tell myself I'm the best player on the field at all times... it's tough sometimes you got Shohei out there." @MikeTrout on the upcoming @Angels season and sharing the field with Shohei Ohtani. #MLBTonight | @Plesac19 | #SpringTraining" - MLB NetworkWhile he is no longer a stolen-base threat, he is still an on-base machine, hitting .283 with a .999 OPS last season. He finished eighth in the American League MVP voting, with New York Yankees star Aaron Judge ultimately winning the award.
With many experts projecting Trout to be drafted in the second round, fantasy players may be able to pair him with the likes of first-overall pick candidates Jose Ramirez, Trea Turner, and Ronald Acuna Jr.
