'Slumping' Trout still #1 in AL in many offensive stats

[fan_since79]

Some of these stats are less well-known as the usual BA, HR, RBI etc, but still indicate that Trout is probably the best offensive player in the American League this year.

Yep, he is incredible. His slump is a testament of how hard baseball is.

[zenmaster]

At his age he should not be putting up anywhere close to these numbers, even his slumping numbers. He is still young and figuring things out. If he keeps progressing the record books are going to blow up.

Only 12 stolen bases this year. 100% success. He really should be running a lot more. Trout already has the highest career SB% ever.

[Adam]

He's going to rake at Fenway

 

9 hits in the series. 3 Homers

[tdawg87]

He sucks trade him pls

[Broad Street]

He needs to learn how to hit balls up in the zone. Then he will be GODMODE.

[Blarg]

Second in strikeouts behind Chris Davis.

 

Go Trout!

[Revad]

Is he still hefty?

Lol. I was being a little sarcastic but it really doesn't even seem like he has 12.

[fan_since79]

I was surprised to learn that Babe Ruth led the AL in strikeouts only four times in his career.

 

I always assumed it was more.

An out is an out so whether it's a K or pop up it doesn't really matter. It just seems that Trout's Ks come at the worst possible times (runner on 3rd).

[Stradling]

Is he still the most clutch player in the AL?

[laagamer]

Pffff

 

He's no Miguel Cabrera 

[fan_since79]

Correction: Ruth led the AL in strikeouts FIVE times.

[The God of Runs]

Mike Trout will make the most money in the history of baseball as a player. And, will be worth every dollar

[HaloCory22]

No 10 WAR season in 2014. Season fail.

[fan_since79]

Perhaps not 10, but he's virtually on pace to match last year's 8.9

Is he still the most clutch player in the AL?

Yes, but only just barely. Salvador Perez is hot on his heels. That said, Trout is a better overall player than Perez so if you look at win probability added nobody is even close.

One of my favorite stats. I'm surprised he didn't lead in that category last season with 6.8. I guess Cabrera must have been higher?

[Halos of Anaheim]

We need him to get going these next two series. We could be tied/in first place by the end of the weekend if the bats come alive in Arlington/Fenway. The A's look like they could lose both of their upcoming series against the Braves.

I think Trout and the angels have been laying I wait, so to speak. We'll when all the chips are on the table.

[Revad]

We'll see when....
