Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout’s strong season so far has seen him accrue 2.4 bWAR, which is enough to make him the 47th player in MLB history to reach the 90 career bWAR benchmark.

WAR, or wins above replacement, determines how many wins a player contributes to their team in comparison to a league-average, or replacement, player. With Trout’s career mark of 90.1, he leads all current MLB players.

Trout has been among the best in the game this season, and has proven he can still post MVP-caliber numbers depite being in his age-34 season. he has 14 homers on the year, and has driven in 31 RBIs for the Halos. He has a .910 OPS, which leads qualified hitters on the team by a large margin.

Additionally, Trout leads the American League with 45 runs scored, as well as all of MLB with 56 walks.

How Close is Mike Trout to Other MLB Greats?

In terms of WAR, Trout is sure to keep climbing the leaderboards and could very well surpass some of the greatest names in the history of the sportβ€”not that he isn’t already one of them.

The superstar is still under contract with the Angels for four more seasons after 2026, and could make a dent in the leaderboards if he continues to average 8.6 bWAR per 162 games. Assuming Trout plays all four of those seasons in their entirety and reaches 8.6 bWAR this season, Trout will find himself ranked 14th all-time in terms of bWAR by the end of his contract.

What Else Has Mike Trout Achieved in 2026?

Earlier in the season, Trout surpassed the late Garret Anderson for the Angels’ franchise lead in extra-base hits. He currently has 808 in his MLB career. While not in 2026, Trout also hit the 400 career home runs mark during the tail end of 2025.

Trout also has 1,049 career RBIs, meaning he cleared the 1,000 RBIs mark last season with his 64 over the course of 130 games.

He has already established himself as the greatest Angel ever, and is well on his way to Cooperstown whenever he decides to hang up the cleats.
