Is Manny Machado in the same echelon as Mike Trout and Bryce Harper?
MASN’s Steve Melewski argues that Manny Machado should be considered in the
same conversation as Mike Trout and Bryce Harper when it comes to the best
young players in baseball. The Orioles’ 20-year-old third baseman is off to
a fantastic start in 2013, carrying a .314/.356/.503 line through 166 plate
appearances. By Baseball Reference WAR, he has been as valuable as Joey Votto
and Troy Tulowitzki, among others, which ranks in the top-ten in baseball.
若以WAR来评断球员,Machado的表现已经能与Votto Tulo这些人相提并论。
Did you know that through the first 84 big league games for each player, that
Machado tops both Trout and Harper in batting average, homers, RBIs and
doubles?
Well, he does, as found by Duquette, who is also heard on MLB Network Radio
on Sirius-XM Radio. Here is the comparison:
Machado – .284 average, 12 homers, 47 RBIs, 20 doubles.
Harper – .258 average, 9 homers, 29 RBIs, 16 doubles.
Trout – .282 average, 11 homers, 42 RBIs, 16 doubles.
Machado tops the dynamic duo in all four categories. Is there anyone out
there that still doesn’t think he belongs in the conversation with Trout and
Harper for best young player in baseball? He clearly stacks up with the other
two.
