- Ohtani-watch may have taken some of the attention off Trout, but he’s still here...
There's still a week left in April and Mike Trout already has 2.0 WAR. Every year pitchers try to conceive of new ways to get him out, and every year he laughs at the effort. He's hitting .308/.418/.692. His 10 homers lead the big leagues. He's 5 for 5 in steals. Simply the best.
