It's not inconceivable that the LA Angels baseball player could win a Triple Crown in either (or both!) the hitting and pitching categories.

Since he doesn't lead in any category for either with 3 weeks left in the season, and is 50 pts behind in BA, 22 HRs behind Judge, 30 RBI short of Judge, more than a full ER behind in ERA to Verlander who won't be pitching anymore, and 36 K's behind in strikeouts, I would say neither. The one possible category would be pitching wins where he needs 4 wins in 3 weeks to tie Verlander, but at least Verlander won't be adding any wins.

@dancingtongue Not this season, no... but he's still young. In fact, he's entering his peak years.

@SW-User Sometime in his career is conceivable but unlikely.

@dancingtongue "Conceivable" is all I'm looking for :)

@SW-User Wait Until Next Year is the mantra. 👍

@dancingtongue That mantra finally worked for the Bosox and the Cubs after decades of hope!
