Mike Trout dominated baseball from 2012 to 2019, winning multiple MVP awards. However, since 2021, injuries have plagued him, causing him to miss significant games and diminish his performance. As Trout struggles, Mookie Betts has consistently excelled, leading to discussions about whether Betts is closing in on Trout's status as the best player of their generation. The definition of 'generation' in baseball terms might put players like Trout and Betts in direct competition as they age and their performances evolve.
For almost a decade, Mike Trout was the unquestioned best player in baseball. In the years he didn't win, he led the AL three times in WAR.
Since 2021, Trout has been injured much of the time, playing in only about 42% of the games the Los Angeles Angels have played, affecting his performance.
