Over/Under: Mike Trout 9.45 WAR

Related Topics: Mike Trout, Over–under

Simply typing that headline shows how incredible of a talent Mike Trout is. Debating whether a player will have a WAR over 9.5 would be ludicrous in most cases. But it isn’t when the player in question has already eclipsed that figure twice and come within a hair’s breadth of reaching it a third.

Now entering what is typically considered his prime years, will Mike Trout eclipse 9.45 WAR in 2018?

*Note: for this exercise I am using baseball-reference’s WAR calculations, which is why the link on Trout’s name leads to his bb-ref page.

Why He Will: Trout has already racked up two seasons of 10.
