The Impact of Trout's Injury on the Angels

There's no smoking gun here this is a continuation of a very very long-term trend exacerbated by a reduction in balls in play. over the long run maybe there's been more of a tendency to call certain plays hits that would have been called errors in the past. If some part of this is official scores lowering their bar for what constitute to hit then how much has batting average been boosted as a result? i don't think we can quite call his decline griffy esque yet but it's not trending in a great direction and he has been eclipsed by otani to the extent that now when trout gets hurt we talk about the impact on otani.
