In honor of a post I saw here yesterday, here is the actual comparison of trout and sotos first 7 years, with a difference of 20 PA’s instead of 500

Trout still clears, but that post from yesterday was obviously done to exaggerate and mislead.

So glad you did this. That was my first thought when I saw the post, Soto missed half a season or more because of the covid season.
That’s what elite baserunning and CF defense does for you
So he still sucks compared to Trout

Respect.
Trout plays defense too.
Be curious in a few years to see how Soto does versus Trout in the same he bracket. I have a feeling Soto is going to play way more games.
Trout to Yankees confirmed /s
The money clearly disgusts me
I was curious as to how Judge would stack up over the same amount or close to amount, of games side by side to Trout. It was tricky getting the games closer, for me at least. Seeing as both have been injured at various times in their careers and the Covid season. I was up late last night and decided to run a simulation. I’m not sure what the expected player average performance percentages are for season to season in terms of their performance staying consistent, declining, or improving; so, I felt like 2.5% was probably a safe base-line to use for overall performance either way, during the games and PA differences. Those being 525 games and 2,324 PA. Also, it’s obviously just for fun. I’d like to see them eventually close-ish to one another in games/PA at the end of their careers, respectively. One last thing, no matter what, Trout will always be the better defender and base runner without a doubt. To me it says that and that Judge has more power which is also obvious. End result, they’re virtually identical and on the same level, minus each having their *thing* that also separates them(Trout legs and Judge Boom)[link](https://imgur.com/a/Vlo83J6)
Edit: I also added their first full-ish three seasons at the end
Why are we comparing a DH to a CF?
so what was the skewing factor in the original post?
Soooo Trout still significantly better. That’s kinda what expect with one of the best of all time
