FACTS/FLUKES: Trout, Boyd, M. Olson, Carrasco, Grossman

Trout plays and plays well...Even though his AB totals have been closer to 400 than 600 in recent years, Mike Trout (OF, LAA) has always returned at least $31 of R$, and nearly all who play this game love elite consistency. Though he has already earned $35 in 2020, Trout will turn 30 towards the end of the 2021 season, so let's take a look to see if there are any signs of age-related deterioration beneath the surface.
