I don't think it's very likely that he hits .355 all year, though he's still on the short list for best-in-baseball even without it.

It's also not impossible that he keeps something like this up. He's one of the rare current hitters who doesn't strike out that much, and Camden Yards is a nice park to hit in. Even players as talented as Machado are entitled to at least one season where they get a perfectly normal (if it happens to a guy we don't care about like Josh Harrison or Kurt Suzuki) batch of luck that makes their usual, impressive base of skills look other-worldly.

My guess is he'll find a slump or two this year that'll look uglier because he doesn't walk much. But like Trout, he makes himself really valuable even when he's not hitting with his defense and baserunning.
