Let’s not waste any time in the intro here. Do you wanna see Mike Trout hit a golf ball as hard as he can? Of course you do.
It’s just so satisfying to watch. The sound of the impact is like a gunshot. I must have watched it 20 times by now.
It’s also a rare opportunity to see a bit of personality from Trout. The way he grins before he addresses the ball—fully aware of what he’s about to do, almost saying, “watch this”—is as cocky as I’ve ever seen Trout be. And he delivered. The reaction of the onlookers tells you everything you need to know.
