Key stats: Runs. OBA. SLG. OPS. OPS+ BB TB
Betts 2x. 0x. 1x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 1x.
Bellinger 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 1x
Soto. 0x. 2x. 1x. 1x. 1x. 0x. 0x
Bryant 1x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x
Altuve 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x
Bogaerts 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x

Let’s expand it to include stars who went to the WS and lost it played in the postseason…

Ramirez 1x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x
Harper. 1x. 1x. 2x. 2x. 2x. 2x. 0x
Judge. 1x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 0x. 1x. 0x
Cabrera. 0x. 4x. 2x. 2x. 2x. 0x. 2x

Now at any given moment these guys were talked as the “best” player in the game at any given moment. By some standards greatness is determined by WS wins or playoff success. Some of these guys have HR, RBI or Batting titles as well, but let’s focus on just these stats for now.

Last, here are some numbers:
Trout. 4x. 4x. 3x. 4x. 6x. 3x. 1x

Yep it’s clear to me, Trout isn’t the best. Must be some other guy in the names above.

PS: Times leading the league in WAR for Trout: 4x

Betts 2x
Judge 1x
Bellinger 1x
Altuve 1x
Harper 1x
Bryant 1x

It's like, we know it because we see it, and then see it presented like this, and then you KNOW it. Respect the skills. Amazing.
