BET MADE - Would a team of 8 Mike Trouts and everyone else average win over 152 games? (1 Viewer)

So, I think 152 is about the target but I took the under.

Not sure how to calculate, but curious how many wins we could expect from a team that had 8 Mike Trouts and everyone else was average.

Every pitcher is league average?

Way under.

Did you post this high? Cool if so but this is way off. You’d need five Walter Johnson’s to get over 125.

Mike Trout currently has an RC27 of 11.09, so that's the runs per game you'd expect from a lineup of 9 of him. The league average runs scored right now is 4.38.

The Pythagorean win percentage for a team that scores 11.09 runs per game and allows 4.38 is .865, which would be 140 wins.

That's a quick estimate and probably not a very accurate one, but fine-tuning it will only make the win total go down. You get 8 Trouts in the lineup, not 9, and the runs allowed goes up if you start factoring in Trout's defensive contributions at middle infield and catcher. Definite under on 152.

Ultimately depends on how well Mike Trout at catcher can frame a pitch.

Not if he was facing a team of 9 Bartolo Colons

They'd go 0-162 against a team of mini Ditkas

Thought about this, but WIS won't let you use the same player from the same season twice on one team. Trout only has 6 good seasons so far so you'd have to wait 2 more years to field a full lineup of him.

If anyone is still thinking about this in October 2019, bump the thread and we'll make it happen.
