Happy birthday to Angels outfielder Mike Trout, who turned 21 years old today. Which means the best player in the American League?and reigning American League player of the month?can finally buy alcohol legally.
He leads the league in batting average (.348), steals (36), and runs (86), ranks second in slugging percentage (.598) and OPS (1.009), and rates third in on-base percentage (.411). And course he?s also an excellent defensive center fielder, which is part of how Trout leads all of baseball in Wins Above Replacement (7.4).
And he wasn?t even called up by the Angels until 20 games into the season. Oh, and officially this is actually Trout?s ?age-20 season? because baseball uses a player?s age of as June 30.
For a birthday present I?m giving him this complete list of all the 20-year-olds in baseball history with an OPS above 1.000: Mike Trout, Ted Williams, Alex Rodriguez, Mel Ott.
