The shape of the seasonEV95 109.3 → 110.3 mphweekly · trailing 75 balls in play

Scout’s note

Sixteen seasons, 422 home runs, a career .972 OPS — and the machine put him on a breakout board at 35 because it doesn't read reputations, it reads exit velocities. His 110 mph EV95 still ranks with the game's elite while the .233 average carries one of the biggest luck gaps we track. The name is legend; the signal is current.

The Wire

△ On the field: Fans noted Mike Trouts return from the injured list with a home run plus doubles and runs scored as bettors backed further power.

△ On cardboard: Collectors listed Mike Trout cards from Topps Chrome and Series sets plus graded autos and custom art for sale.
