Correa will be close to 40 after this season (age 27), so, even with the injuries and interruptions, he should be over 50 in two more years.

fangraphs and baseball reference seem to value correa very differently. by fWAR he's at 30.1 right now.
dunno. at any rate, i think assuming that he'll put up 5+ WAR for both 2023 and 2024 is a lot to assume. maybe for Trout. Correa's great when he's on the field, but the biggest contributor to hall of fame / WAR stuff is longevity and staying on the field.
the JAWS average for shortstops is 55.4. a couple modern SS's that topped that were jeter and larkin, a couple who didn't quite make it were garciaparra and jimmy rollins. this is switching to fWAR, but here are a couple comparisons of these players:

larkin and jeter made it because they kept going strong through their early to mid thirties. that's the gauntlet

I definitely did early on, then he hit some bumps. Getting hurt in 2017 may have cost him an MVP. I think he's on track, though--with the unknown of how the sign-stealing story will be viewed down the road.
