The greatest ballplayer that ever lived? It's still a bit early to make such a bold declaration, but unless this supremely talented youngster stumbles from his current trajectory, that distinction could very well become his legacy. The ultimate five-tool player, the thirty-year old Trout has already tested the strength of his trophy shelf with a Rookie of the Year Award, three American League MVP's and eight Silver Sluggers.

Presented is a special relic that predates that 2012 ROY campaign, an Adirondack Pro MMT11 used as Trout dominated the Angels farm system. The early war club exhibits excellent game use, with ball marks on the barrel and pine tar and grip tape on the cracked handle. Unidentified scarring appears on left and back barrel, perhaps the result of a dugout tantrum(?). Length is thirty-three and a quarter inches (33.25"), weight thirty-three ounces (32.7 oz.). Barrel is signed in 9/10 blue sharpie, with "2011 G/U" notation. The bat was sourced through Anderson Authentics with a letter signed by Trout, which is included. LOA from PSA/DNA, GU 8.5. Letter of provenance from Anderson Authentics Signed by Mike Trout. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
