While the above isn’t true, it does bring up a good question about Mike Trout and his career thus far. If the two-time MVP retired tomorrow, would he have a good enough case to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame?
While we can’t get into the brains of voters quite that easily, we can take a look at statistics and where Trout currently ranks among the MLB’s best of all time.
Let’s start with the stats. Trout has a career slash line of .307/.416/.573. He has 240 home runs (37 yearly average), 224 doubles (34), and 1187 hits (181).
