Mike Trout has led the AL in OPS+ six times, and for his career is 76% better than the average hitter. That's historic. As with all rate stats, he won't be able to keep it up, but it's still amazing.
I also like his MVP stats -- 3 awards and 4 second place finishes and IMO he easily could have won two or three of those.
