With 103 runs scored entering the final game of the 2015 season, Angels outfielder Mike Trout is the 14th player in major league history to score 100 or more runs in each of his first four full seasons in the major leagues. Beginning with the player's rookie-qualifying season, the 13 other big leaguers to score 100 or more runs in his first four campaigns include Earle Combs, Ted Williams, Ichiro Suzuki, Derek Jeter, Johnny Pesky, Albert Pujols, Paul Waner, Harlond Clift, Earl Averill, Joe DiMaggio, Jim Gilliam, Nomar Garciaparra and Hanley Ramirez.
The most consecutive seasons scoring 100-plus runs beginning from a player’s rookie campaign are eight, a mark held by Combs, Williams and Suzuki. Williams and former teammate Johnny Pesky had their streaks interrupted by losing three big league seasons due to their active duty in military service during World War II.
During his first eight major league seasons, Williams scored a total of 1,082 runs, an average of 135 per season.
Among the 14 to accomplish this feat, five are Hall of Famers (Combs, Williams, Waner, Averill and DiMaggio) and four are still active (Suzuki, Pujols, Ramirez and Trout).
