Adam Wainwright as Hot as Bryce Harper, Mike Trout at the Plate after HR

It may seem impossible to believe, given the MVP play of Bryce Harper (before his brawl suspension) and Mike Trout (before his thumb injury), but St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright is actually as good or better than both of them with the lumber over the same span of at-bats.

And the numbers prove it.

Last 85 plate appearances:

Bryce Harper
10 XBH & 16 RBI

Mike Trout
13 XBH & 18 RBI#STLCards Adam Wainwright
14 XBH & 25 RBI

Let’s take one more look at Waino’s 💣

Of all the wacky numbers in MLB this season, Wainwright’s performance with a bat in his hands stands above the competition.
