Trout tied with Bonds at 74 WAR. Here's the list of players in MLB history with home runs and stolen bases through their first 10 years as a Major Leaguer:. Trout's alone. Willie Mays did get to in the first 10 seasons he played with the Giants, it was just over an year span from -- he was serving in the military in Trout hit homers and stole bases from -- in other words, averaging a season. And actually, he's already one of only 25 players ever with homers and steals in their career.
Trout has a career. Again, those numbers are for his career. He's the active leader in the last three of those categories, on-base percentage, slugging and OPS. The Reds trailed when Nuxhall entered the game. Nuxhall then allowed two hits, walked five Cardinals hitters, and allowed five runs before manager Bill McKechnie relieved him.

Defining Trout may ultimately be just as difficult. The beauty of baseball is that its statistical trove makes erasure far less likely. Trout has seen this discourse play out himself, be it earnestly, or by a bad-faith TV host aiming to garner a few extra ratings points, or merely to cheekily prop up a two-week wonder as one of the greatest of all time. Eleven seasons in, Trout is likely halfway through his own whole career.
At the moment, his contributions have been so dynamic that we may not yet know which statistic might carry him toward the Hall of GOATs. He has led the AL or the major leagues in runs, RBI, stolen bases, walks, on-base and slugging percentage, OPS adjusted and otherwise and intentional walks.
