Mike Trout is having yet another great season, but his strikeout rate is on the rise.

He struck out once every 5.26 plate appearances last season, but the rate is up to one every 3.62 plate appearances in 2014. That is the 22nd-highest rate in the Major Leagues.

Trout said this spring that he would make an effort to be more aggressive early in counts, but he still rarely swing at the first pitch.
