The only stats for which he's not in the top 10 are HR and RBI, and he's in the top 15 for those. Most of the stats he's in the top 3 or 5. I've never seen anything like it - not this much across the board, and in every single aspect of offense.

[Angelsjunky]

All that said, I was surprised to find that there's one obscure Fangraphs statistic for which Trout is worst in the league. Its called "Clutch" and it measures a players performance in high leverage situations vs. his normal performance. Of 85 qualifying AL players, Trout is #85 at -2.34.

 

You know, its been kind of irking me for awhile - that it seems that Trout has performed particularly poorly in high leverage situations this year. Seems like the numbers bear this out.

[Mudville]

Just imagine how more productive he would be with Pujols and Hamilton playing to their capabilities so intentional walks like last night wouldn't be isued defusing scoring opportunities. Pitchers would have to come back to the strike zone in hopes of not extending the inning.

[wopphil]

He needs Pujols to come back healthy next year and serve as good lineup protection.

[fan_since79]

His adjusted OPS+ is higher than last year's wonderful season. The kid's getting better. Imagine what he'll do at the ripe old age of 25.

[eaterfan]

Nothing wrong with getting on base. I'm fine with as many walks as possible, intentional or not. Get on base.

 

I wish Hamilton would do that. They offer him first base every time if he would be willing to drop a bunt down the 3rd base line. He just won't take it.

[HaloCory22]

Stat boner.

[Guest]

Wow. I had no idea he's 1st in hits! Trout is a true 5 tool player, and one of the most remarkable athletes of our generation. 

[HaloCory22]

Only thing Trout truly needs to work on is his arm strength.

[Caralho]

Trout's arm strength is fine, it's his throwing accuracy that is not good enough. 

[FireThemAll]

My friend and I were talking and my friend said to me "Mike Trout might be better at baseball than Lebron James is at basketball".

 

 

Kid is just a true phenom and a joy to watch.

[Angelsjunky]

His adjusted OPS+ is higher than last year's wonderful season. The kid's getting better. Imagine what he'll do at the ripe old age of 25.

 

My guess is that he improves slightly until he has his best years at age 24-25, then drops a bit at 26 (but still among the best in the game) and plateaus for five+ years.

 

But who knows - anything is possible with this kid.

[mota_madness]

wow. that is extremely impressive.  Angels better lock his ass up this off season or there will be bad blood come free agency.  

[jsnpritchett]

wow. that is extremely impressive.  Angels better lock his ass up this off season or there will be bad blood come free agency.  

 

Don't worry: they'll give him a $100K raise this time around, and all will be good!

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Don't worry: they'll give him a $100K raise this time around, and all will be good!

The Angels need to save money to be able to sign guys like Madson, Blanton, and Hamilton. 

[fan_since79]

wow. that is extremely impressive.  Angels better lock his ass up this off season or there will be bad blood come free agency.  

Somewhere in the USA, in Little League, there's a kid we could build a team around in about 10 years. We'll finally get it right and make the playoffs in 2025, after a 15-year drought.

Who knows, maybe we'll even sign a 33-year old FA named Mike Trout after the Yankees let him go.

[Troll Daddy]

I would like to see him get to 100 RBI's and 140 runs scored this season.

His HR and stolen bases totals will be lower this season unless he goes on a terror.

[jsnpritchett]

He has 78 runs so far this year.  How in the world is he going to get 140 runs total??

[Troll Daddy]

He's not but he scored 129 runs last season. His RBI total could get close ... he had 83 last season.

[FireThemAll]

RBI and runs are terrible stats to judge a ballplayer.

[Troll Daddy]

You combine RBI's and runs scored together and see what you get.

[tdawg87]

Mike Trout is the pure, unadulterated definition of a man. I bet he shaves with a machete.

[Angels]

Best player in baseball.

 

Remember when Pujols was the best player in baseball? Trout's 10 WAR last year was better than Pujols' best season...and he's well on his way to doing it again this year. At 20-21.

[stormngt]

wow. that is extremely impressive.  Angels better lock his ass up this off season or there will be bad blood come free agency.  

agreed!

[seenoevil]

Trout 7.3 starting to move away from the pack, Miggy @ 7.0   offensive War...
