In 2011, Mike Trout and Bryce Harper were teammates on the Scottsdale Scorpions of the Arizona Fall League. Trout slashed .245/.279/.321. I asked a court why everyone was so sure he was going to be a stud. I was told he was tired from a long season. Make no mistake, he’s the best player here (or words to that effect) said the scout. He was no stats guy.

Harper slashed .333/.400/.634. I would have bet cash money that Harper was the better player. Then Trout rested in the off-season and WOW!
