Trout v Kershaw
?How would a team of Clayton Kershaw do against a team of Mike Trout? That's what a Bill James reader asked. Kershaw would hit, field, and pitch. And so would Trout, who pitched in high school.
We can guess how Trout-hitter v Kershaw-pitcher would do easily enough. If Trout has a wRC+ of say 150 and Kershaw has a RA9- of 65, that pretty much means you've have an average MLB hitter (150 x 65 / 100 =~ 100).
What about the opposite? Someone can take it from here, but I'll guess that Kershaw-hitter v Trout-pitcher would be more runs than MLB average.
So, Kershaw, right? Well, we also have Trout as a fielder all over the diamond, so, that will impact the results much closer toward Trout.
Tough call. Someone want to try it?
