Looks like sensational rookie prospect Bobby Witt Jr. is coming around. After batting below the Mendoza line for the better part of the first quarter of the season, he hit three doubles today and 2 RBI. He is 10 for his last 22, while raising his average over 40 points now batting .246. Hoping he continues to improve.
Meanwhile Paul Goldschmidt having an outstanding season. He hit HR number 10 today and is batting .355/.420OBP. and .622 SLG. He leads the league in TB as well.
Rockies CJ Cron with HR 13 and Rangers Corey Seager with HR 9 today.
After going through a mild 1-12 slump, Mike Trout goes 3-4 last night with his 13th HR, 2R, and 2 RBI. He's leading the league in R:37, SLG: .673, OPS: .1095, and OPS+ 215.
Probably the early favorite for MVP.
Trout has also tied HOF Yankee great Joe Dimaggio for 66th on the all time WAR list, 79.2 after just 11 seasons. Dimaggio only played 13 seasons, missing three seasons in the middle of his prime, ages 28, 29, and 30 while serving in the military. The fact that The Yankee Clipper had career WAR of 79.2 in just 13 seasons tells you why he is one of the greatest players of all time.
