zenmaster 1,582 Posted May 29, 2018 He could hit 5 WAR by June 1st. Many players don’t get this in a couple years... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dick B Back 3,597 Posted May 29, 2018 Is Trout going to the Harper school of hair cuttery this year? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustATroutFan 618 Posted May 29, 2018 He has an OPS over 1.200 this month. Also batting over .300 to go along with an OBP of like .500. Ruthian-like, indeed! 3 Angel Oracle, Franklin Bluth and Lhalo reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuckster70 18,605 Posted May 29, 2018 You're reading this correct. Mike Trout is on pace for a 15.4 WAR season which would be the best ever by a position player. 4 fan_since79, Angel Oracle, Franklin Bluth and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angelsjunky 9,007 Posted May 29, 2018 The crazy thing is that his BABIP is still pretty low, so if that positively regresses to the norm than his numbers will be even better. Anyhow, he’s on pace for his best season. Nice to continue racking up 2nd place MVP finishes. 1 Chuckster70 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Impressive, yes, but math fail. Not sure how you get 15.4, it’s exactly a third of the way through the season and he’s got 4.9 rWAR and 4.4 fWAR, so his pace is 14.7 or 13.2. in other words, he sucks. 2 1 Ray McKigney, Franklin Bluth and Angel Oracle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angel Oracle 11,838 Posted May 29, 2018 What's the worst thing that happens, if the following lineup is used for the next few weeks against RHP, when Ohtani isn't about to pitch? Cozart, Simmons, Trout, Ohtani, Upton, Pujols, Kinsler, Cold, Machete Pujols has had the 6th best OPS so far this season, basically the same OPS as 2017. What is going to change soon? I guess it's baby steps for Sosh, that Kinsler and Cold are no longer higher up in the order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuckster70 18,605 Posted May 30, 2018 More from STATS Inc. today... YOU READ THAT RIGHT: Mike Trout is on pace for a 15.4 WAR season – would be the best ever by a position player. FAST AND FAR: With two stolen bases May 20th, Mike Trout reached 175 for his career...One of six players to tally 200 HRs & 175 SBs in their first eight seasons joining Willie Mays, Barry/Bobby Bonds, Darryl Strawberry & Rafael Soriano)... Trout is the lone player to do prior to age-27 season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angelsjunky 9,007 Posted May 30, 2018 I’m guessing they took BR WAR after the five hit game and extrapolated from that. The pace is lower now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
