In case you haven’t heard, this Mike Trout guy is somewhat good at the sport of baseball. The 23-year-old diamond deity continues to invent new ways to amaze us on an everyday basis.
On Sunday against the Rangers, Trout outdid himself yet again. Having already smashed an opposite field shot off Texas starter Nick Martinez in the first inning for his 30th home run of the year, Trout stepped up to the plate against Spencer Patton with the bases loaded in the sixth. In what can only be described as “Mike Trout being Mike Trout,” the Angels center fielder squared up a 3-2 offering and rocketed it into the right-center bleachers for a grand salami.
