Best Mike Trout Moments

Today is Mike Trout's 24th birthday. Therefore, in honor of his awesomeness, I have compiled some of my favorite Mike Trout Moments. Enjoy!


We will start off with the basics. Mike Trout doing what Mike Trout does (a.k.a. stealing home runs)
Nevermind the fact that he jumps halfway over the wall.




Mike Trout is praised a lot for his bat or his ability to steal home runs, but let's not forget about his ability to throw a ball all the way across the field in a perfect strike and nail the runner. observe:



Observe again:




Mike Trout has been an Allstar 4 times. If you combine all of his 1st at bats in those four years Mike Trout has hit the cycle. 2012: single, 2013: double, 2014: triple, 2015: home run. What's next?




Of course we can't forget about Mike Trout's base running skills. Mike Trout has been clocked at running 22.5 mph while tagging up on a fly ball. And here is his infamous steal:




Then there was the time that Mike Trout hit a Grand Slam straight into the "Trout Net" as though it were easy... (Trout went 4-4 in this game with 2 HR and a BB)




And sometimes he entertains us by catching the ball without even looking




And last but not least, we can't forget the time when Fernando Rodney prematurely celebrated his victory by shooting his trademark arrow at the Angels dugout. How could he think that the game was as good as over when he still had to face Mike Trout and Albert Pujols? Silly Rodney... You can put a halo on this one.





Happy Birthday Mike!
