Mike Trout is a center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels. In 2026 he hit 19 home runs and knocked in 41 RBIs, notching 84 hits across 442 plate appearances in 99 games. His batting average was .235, 3.4% lower than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .380 clip and slugged .440, for an OPS of .820, 14.0% higher than the league mark of .719 — the second best on his team, and 53rd of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 90.1 mph off the bat, hit 47.5% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 76.1% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 136 wRC+ puts his offence 36% above average. That comes to 3.1 dbWAR — +15.8 runs with the bat, +0.9 on the bases, -0.7 for the position he plays, against replacement level. It includes no fielding: defensive runs are proprietary and are not estimated here, so the figure credits playing a demanding position but not playing it well.
