I read somewhere that this was his 3rd stolen HR of the season? Which ties Guitierrez and The Kid for most in their rookie season? Can anyone confirm that? Regardless, this guy is something else.
.270 3 HR and 6 SB in two weeks is falling back down to earth?
The average is bound to fall a little bit when his BABIP stabilizes. As long as the power and speed is there you can't complain. He's still slugging .595
Here's the pitch on the way, a swing and a belt! Left field! Way back! BLUE JAYS WIN!

homer and a SB last night. i won't complain. if he does that just once every week he's a 25/25 guy.

That's a 140 game pace of 110 R, 100 RBI, 30 HR, 60 SB (approximate 162 game pace of: 126 R, 116 RBI, 35 HR, 70 SB). He could be batting below .200 and those stats would still play. No, Trout is perfectly fine.

Ya but when was the last time he had 4 hits in a game? He's clearly starting to get figured out by the league

What's so impressive about his base stealing is that he hasn't gotten caught once in his last 30 attempts....just figuring out ways to praise this guy a little more!
