That is a good comparison of the best you can expect, but Trout also benefits from a high BABIP. Yet his can be explained by more Line Drives compared to Fly Balls.
Trout FB%=38.5%
Bryant FB% = 45.4%
Ground Ball to Fly Ball ratio:
Trout = 1.02
Bryant = .75
My theory is that Bryant with his upper cut swing can't maintain his 2015 numbers. His dad ingrained him with this swing, it is great for hitting home runs but it isn't great for getting on base.
