Excluding MJ, when was the last time you saw an outfielder as good as Trout?

Griffey Jr.

Sir, you seem to have answered the wrong prompt.

Are you talking hitting or defense? Because if you are talking defense, Trout is

Hitting alone does not an outfielder make. Same as point guard.

Trout is an amazing regular season hitter and a solid defensive outfielder.

Trout isn't the best defensive outfielder on his own team, but is the best center fielder since at least Mickey Mantle.

Uh, Willie Mays?

Or Willie Mays. I think of Mantle and Mays as contemporaries so I'm good with either. Mays may be the GOAT so sure.

I never 'saw' Mantle or Mays play, which is why I went with Griffey. Also

People out here acting like Griffey Jr. never existed

Trout is much better than Griffey.

shimmy

5/5/22 9:29am

I would say it’s debatable. Griffey was amazing for the first 10 years of his

Jdoc

Trout already has more WAR than Griffey compiled in Seattle. You could argue either way right now, but not for much

shimmy

5/5/22 9:35am

It’s closer than I thought but Trout still has him beat by a decent margin.

Some interesting stats to compare the two

Hank Aaron??

5/5/22 9:27am

I believe he played right field for most of his career.

Jdoc

5/5/22 9:29am

Yeah Brain fart on my part

5/5/22 10:44am

Center fielder?

shimmy

5/5/22 9:29am

Yeah he played right field. Played left field his rookie year. I’m not sure
