Mike Trout is the up and coming face of major league baseball. Since Mike Trout burst into the Major Leagues in 2011 he blazed a trail few have done before. The Angels star has played in every All-Star Game since his rookie year, won the American League Rookie of the Year Award in 2012 and was named the American League MVP in 2014. On April 17, 2015, he became the youngest player in MLB history to reach 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases. This is one of the bats he used during that historic 2015 season. Offered here is an MT27 Old Hickory Professional model bat. The bat is un-cracked and shows incredible use as several ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on the barrel. This bat also exhibits pine tar, tape, leather scuffs and cleat marks. The bat is signed by Mike Trout himself and is inscribed "15 G/U" to signify its usage in that season. Accompanied by a full Letter of Grading and Authenticity from John Taube/PSA, with the bat earning a coveted grade of GU 10! Also accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Anderson Authentics, Trout's personal authentication company. This is an outstanding bat from one of the most talented players in all of baseball - projected to quite possibly have one of the most successful careers in the sport's history.
