Abstract

The article focuses on baseball player Mike Trout, center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels team. Statistics are presented favorably comparing Trout's performance as a batter in his first three seasons with those of historic great players including Ted Williams, Stan Musial and Ty Cobb through Trout's age of 22 years old. A six year, $144.5 million contract Trout signed with the Angels prior to the 2014 season is examined. Trout states that he has a relatively simple approach to batting. Trout's relationships with his family and childhood friends in Millville, New Jersey are discussed. Trout says he will use some of the money from his contract to construct a house and move out of his parents' home.
