Mike Trout's value is best shown by OPS+. OPS+ is on base percentage and slugging percentage together, and adjusted for era and park effects. For example, 100 is average and 150 is 50% better than average.
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.
