I doubt it. With everyone swinging from their heels, it's tough to overtake HR leaders and then you have ones just behind you who can overake you.

lol ... Trout will lead the lead in On Base average [OBP] AGAIN
as he did in 2016-17-18-19
which is the number that matters to me, IMO, the number that matters most
though I admit, the triple crown considers AVE

I think it could depend on whether or not Trout comes back at full strength.

Trout can't lead the league in any rate stat category this year. He will not have enough PA to qualify.

Oh I was talking about just the general future
If he comes back at full strength, you can expect him to possibly lead one major category.

Can I point out that as much as I'd like to see another Triple Crown winner, can we acknowledge the year Perez is having?! The guy has barely taken any days off as a CATCHER. As for this, it'll be a hard fought win if he pulls through. There are several reasons why/why not for each player on maintaining where they are at.

Salvador Perez was already great, but this year he's been absurd. Having arguably one of the best hitting seasons by a catcher ever.
And he still plays great defense at a premium position!

I agree Jim. Both he and Junior are having great season. Sal because of the physical demands of the catcher position and Guerrero for his age. In Guerrero Jr.'s case, just goes to show yyou what losing 45 pounds of unnecessary weight will do for you.
These races are always interesting when it is close to happening but the TC is one of the most difficult achievements to do in baseball. Only 12 have ever been won. But it does give a side interest beyond the Division and WC races.
