Mike Trout demolished a first-inning home run on Saturday night at Angel Stadium for the 250th blast of his career.
The Angels' star outfielder wasted no time against the Royals, crushing a monster solo shot to leftfield off Jakob Junis in the first inning. Trout's dinger sailed 473 feet and had an exit velocity of 112.8 mph, making it his second-longest shot tracked by Statcast. His personal best was a 477-foot homer off Chris Rusin at Coors Field in 2015.
Trout, 27, became the sixth player in MLB history to reach 250 homers before his 28th birthday, joining Mickey Mantle, Ken Griffey Jr.
