Of course, that's unfair. The 20.2 was by Tim Keefe in 1883. If we go with hitters, the record is 14.1 in 1923* by Babe Ruth. That's still 3.6 better than Trout's best. I'd say that record is safe. * - The fact that 1923 is Ruth's highest WAR total just shows you how dumb/wrong WAR can be at times. No one in their right mind thinks 1923 was his best year. Most would say 1921. Or 1927. Or 1920. But 1923? No. Yet WAR says it was his "best". |

I am not a huge fan of WAR either, but Trout currently has a 6.0 WAR and is on pace for 14.5 for the year.

Fair point. I didn't do the math on the current season. Doubt he keeps it up but, hey, awesome if he does. WAR loves Trout, that's for sure.
