Angels draft brother of Mike Trout’s girlfriend in 19th round of MLB Draft

The Los Angels Angles selected Aaron Cox, a pitcher/infielder out of Gannon University, with their pick in the 19th round of the Major League Baseball Draft. What makes the selection infinitely more interesting than most that come in the middling rounds of the draft is that the ballplayer picked just so happens to be the brother of Jessica Cox, the girlfriend of the team’s superstar, Mike Trout.

Trout and Cox were high school sweethearts, so odds are good Trout knows one of the newest members of the Angels farm system quite well. So it wasn’t a surprise at all that he tweeted out congrats to Cox.
