Mike Trout's Numbers Defy The Odds
4 years agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is really good at baseball. Nobody can really dispute that, but a deeper dive into his numbers shows just how good he really is at hitting baseballs. Over his last 299 big-league games, he has a .299 batting average, a .440 on-base percentage over his last 440 plate appearances, a .610 slugging percentage in his last 610 games and a 1.020 OPS in his last 1,020 games dating back to May of 2013. The 29-year-old had a career-low .281 average, stole just one base and had his worst strikeout and walk rates since 2015 in the shortened 2020 season. But the three-time MVP and eight-time All-Star remains an elite all-around hitter. He may not be in play as the top overall fantasy pick in 2021, but he's a no-brainer as a top-five selection.
