It’s also now possible to compare batters and pitchers on the same graph:

So you’re saying Trout is good? Was that the point or did I just miss it?
While saying ‘Trout’s good’ is indeed the point – always the point – the purpose of the post, I’d guess, would be to highlight one of their new-ish fangled Fan Graphs that they are bringing to the site for your consumption.
The WAR graph tool has been there for a while, but only had data for position players feeding it.
And if you want to see Trout NOT on top of a graph, here you go:
