foxxWAR Players of the Week

Best Hitter: Mike Trout, .53

Trout had a big week with 6 hits - including 4 home runs and a double - and 3 walks. That led to 9 runs scored. Defensively it was quiet in CF for the Jaguars other than a robbed HR. Trout’s big week leap-frogged him over Ronald Acuna Jr for the #1 spot in the league at 2.46 foxxWAR for the season.

The rest:

Tommy La Stella, .51

Freddie Freeman, .39

Brian Anderson, .34

Jared Walsh, .32

Best Pitcher: Trevor Bauer, .39

A dominant 8 IP performance by Bauer this week. Only 4 hits and a walk to go along with 11 strikeouts and no runs. It really doesn’t get a whole lot better than that. In fact, his game score of 84 was 8th best for the season, and Bauer’s personal best this year.

The rest:

Tony Gonsolin, .36

John Means, .34

Lance Lynn, .34

Blake Snell, .32

Worst Hitter: Edwin Rios, -.25

Trying his best to balance out Trout’s greatness, Edwin Rios was 2-16 with a double, but also a GIDP. Not exactly blowing the doors off anyone with his bat. But his biggest problem was defense, where he committed 2 errors and gave up 3 hits in the field.

The rest:

Bo Bichette, -.23

Alex Bregman, -.21

Victor Reyes, -.20

Jackie Bradley Jr. -.20

Worst Pitcher: Cal Quantrill, -.59

A 3 IP, 7 run performance is definitely not great. Add in 10 hits, a walk, and a hit by pitch and runners were living on the bases against Quantrill this week.

The rest:

Drew Smith, -.43

Spencer Turnbull, -.39

Erasmo Ramirez, -.38

Jose Berrios, -.36
