In case you were wondering, Mike Trout can still hit the baseball a very long way. I wish we had the Statcast numbers to officially measure what we saw with our eyes, a majestic home run deep into the Tempe sky.
Trout’s three-run home run gave the Angels a temporary 3-1 lead, which they would relinquish in a 4-4 tie against the Royals in one of their split-squad match-ups on Friday at Temp Diablo Stadium. The Angels lost their other split-squad game 4-3 to the Royals in Surprize, Arizona.
Angels fans, and baseball fans, alike, have grown accustom to seeing something special from Mike Trout on a daily basis, so why should Spring Training be any different?
