Trout's April Stats

[HeavenlyHalos]

.329/.447/.592 with 5 HR, 14 RBI, 6 SB. That is good for 3.7 WAR and 10.7 adjusted batting runs accumulated in only a month (baseball reference). Oh, and he has a 195 OPS+. 

 

Yeah, he's okay.

 

Edit: Poozy is correct, his WAR is now showing 1.7 on baseball reference.

But what has he done lately?

[NrM]

3.7 bWAR? wtf. That can't be right. He only has a 1.6 fwar

His war should go up 10 points cause of that catch last night.  What replacement could have made that catch?  F war

[WallyWorld]

like I said in yesterday's gameday thread, the pattern for his first three years has been to start off a little slow and then pick things up by late May, and then go on an absolute tear in June and July. It will be interesting to see if he's reversing that trend this year or if this is a slow start and he's in for an unbelievable season. Strangely, it doesn't seem like he's really gotten locked in with the bat yet. He only had one 3-hit game in April.

Still not as good as MCab. Trout is overrated.

The war king

You're right, it just went down to 1.7. I swear at the time of this post, they had it calculated at 3.7, which also confused me. His adjusted batting runs however is still 10.7, which is incredibly good for one month. He led the league in that category last season with 55.6 for a comparison.

Pitchers haven't been throwing him high fastballs as often, but I have noticed that when they do, he seems to be laying off them more than last season. Obviously, that is a great sign.

MVP numbers

[fan_since79]

Bill James' Hall of Fame Monitor metric has him 68% of the way there already.

 

Average HOF center fielder has a career WAR of 70.4. Trout's is 39.4 and he's 23 years old.

I'm impressed with what Calhoun has given us.

Could you imagine how many runs he'd have if Albert was hitting at all. Of course, he'd probably have less walks but higher average and slugging due to seeing more hittable pitches.

Or a lower average because those walks given up turn into outs more often than they do hits.

my friends ask me about the Halos ?? How are they doing........

 

my response these days -- "the Angels have ONE really good player, perhaps the best in baseball...........and that's about it"
