MLB Players Power Rankings (9): Trevor Story, Colorado Rockies

May Stats: 0.609 SLG | 0.411 wOBA | 142 wRC+ | 1.4 fWAR

In 2016, Trevor Story emerged as a force to be reckoned with in MLB. In just 97 games that season, he managed to blast 27 home runs with 72 RBI and had a respectable .909 OPS.

His sophomore season, Story failed to live up to the hype of his rookie season. Instead, he led the league in strikeouts and was only able to muster an OPS of .765.

In 2018, however, Story returned to form, cutting down on his strikeouts and returning to his power-hitting form. After putting together an OPS of .914, Story and Arenado helped the Colorado Rockies make it to the postseason.

After winning the Wild Card game to qualify for the NLDS, however, the Rockies were swept by the surging Milwaukee Brewers. This season, Story has continued his great performance of last season in hopes of helping his team to return to the postseason.

So far, this season, Story is posting career highs in AVG (.294), OBP (.362), and OPS (.924). He has 15 HR and leads the league in runs scored with 52.
