What will Mike Trouts career stats be?
-
It's a bummer that he lost half this season(along with every one else). But it could be the difference between 580 or 600 homeruns.

I hope he has a long and successful career, but he is young and already gets banged up a bit on the regular. He is also a big guy. Large frame. Many guys like this have a hard time staying healthy throughout a 16-18 year career. Like I said, I wish him well, as he is an amazing talent. But I wouldnt be surprised if he is playing 1st base by 33, and struggling to get in 120 games per season.
Other than missing 40 games in '17, he's never really missed much time. I wouldn't say he's a large frame either, or certainly not a body type that won't age well. He's built like a running back. 6'2, 230, very little bad weight...
Who knows, with injuries, but I don't see him playing 1st base, probably ever. Maybe RF at 34 or something. DH at 40..I hope you are right. But height and weight doesnt tell all about body types. But I can honestly hope I am wrong and Trout goes on to become the greatest baseball player ever.

Trout to me is one of those players you just have to see to understand how good he is, and is more backed up by modern stats than old school “counting stats.”
He walks so much I don’t think there’s any way he gets to 3000 hits, he’s 28 and not even at 1500 yet. But it wouldn’t surprise me if he finishes near the top of the all time on-base leaderboard.
I think his injuries and body type will cause him to miss too much time to get to 600 HRs. I see his 30s being more Albert Pujols than Willie Mays.

It’s also worth remembering that until that last two seasons, Trout was putting up his numbers in a heavily pitcher dominated era. 2010 through 2017 or so was not a high scoring environment and the ball wasn’t juiced like it was last year
-
If he stays healthy, sure. Some of the predictions posted above could be attainable. It's all gonna depend on health.
-
When it’s all said and done, Trout and Joe D will be the two best right handed hitters of all time!
-
He will reach 3000 hits and be a top 5 even top 3 player of all time, it depends how you value pitchers

Mays, Wagner, Aaron, Hornsby, Foxx... Technically all these guys and more were better and longer lasting than Joe D..

I'll tell you at the end of his career.
