Mike Trout turns 27 today. Here is where he stands through that age.

Posted by Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud (aka JoeMetz) Aug 7 '18, 05:48

Through Aug. 4, Mike Trout has 61.9 career WAR -- That is the 6th best (Age-26 total) ever behind only Ty Cobb as a hitter -- 4 pitchers are better at the moment. Walter Johnson (71.1), Kid Nichols (69.2), Amos Rusie (64.5) and Tommy Bond (61.9). He'll pass Tommy Bond since this is Trout's entire Age-26 season so top 5 player for his age all-time and at least 2 of the other 4 players are generally regarded as shortlisted greatest ever

Trout's mark also edged Mickey Mantle's career total through his age-26 season (61.4).

61.9 WAR is already the 111th-highest in MLB history for position players. That is ahead of 76 Hall of Fame position players, including Jackie Robinson (61.4 WAR) and Harmon Killebrew (60.4).

Through Age-26, he's got:
* more homers than Bonds did at the same age
* more hits than Pete Rose
* more runs scored than Rickey Henderson
* more walks than Bonds

- it's the fish name. can't take a ball player with a fish name seriously. just look at Tim Salmon and... uh... Catfish Hunter? -- nm - mafic Aug 7, 06:16 2
  - He should be one of the biggest stars in the game, and he's not even close. It just stinks for him, and I'm not sure how that happened. -- nm - MDH Aug 7, 06:19 1
    - plays late on the East Coast, team never (rarely) makes the playoffs for 2 -- nm - Beaker Aug 7, 06:22
