Let’s stop pretending we aren’t in the middle of watching the greatest player to ever step onto the diamond.
He’s doing it on a mediocre team, not on steroids, in an era where every race is invited to play, against multiple well-rested pitchers per game, and against guys consistently throwing 95+.
He’s top or next to the top in wRC+ every year. He’s a plus defender. He’s fast and smart on the basepaths.
Trout is the best baseball player ever.
