He's is the midst of one of his patented ridiculous tears, as he's now lashed 10 hits in his last 14 at-bats, with six runs and seven RBI to go along with the four homers over his last four games. That brings his slash line to .323/.450/.690 with 23 home runs in 70 games on the season -- all incredible numbers even by the lofty standards Trout has grown accustomed to setting over the course of his career.","date":"Fri Jun 15"},"fullName":"Mike Trout","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Just how good is he? Since his big league debut on July 8, 2011, Trout is the only player in baseball to bat .290 with at least 180 home runs and 100 stolen bases. He has blown those thresholds away, in fact, with .307-201-165 numbers in those categories despite contributing little in 40 games in his 2011 debut season. He also managed at least a .290 batting average, 25 home runs and 20 stolen bases in 2017 -- the only player who can claim that -- despite missing 39 games after tearing the UCL in his left thumb in May, with batting average (.306) and homer (33) totals that far exceeded those thresholds. Now 26, Trout is coming off a season of personal bests in practically every rate category and a pro-best 78 percent contact rate. He's the safest cross-format fantasy pick in the game, and Trout stands an excellent chance of capturing the Player Rater's top spot for the first time since 2012.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Tue Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":14.7,"playerRater15DAY":7.5,"positionRank":1}
