After winning his second MVP trophy, Mike Trout went into 2017 hot. Going into the week of May, the Angels star was hitting .337 with 16 homers when he injured his thumb. The injury required surgery and Trout missed 39 games. Then, showing the grit and talent that made him the best player in the game today, Trout picked up where he left off in May. He recorded his 200th career home run, then his 1,000th career hit. He also set a franchise record with walks in 14 consecutive bases. When the books were closed on 2017, Trout led the team in home runs, stolen bases, walks, batting average and runs. Trout’s 2017 Old Hickory Model MT27* model bat shows great game use and is un-cracked. The barrel displays many ball marks which include stitch marks and white leather ball scuffs. Both ends show abrasions from contact with the ground and a heavy coat of pine tar is found on the center brand. The handle has been wrapped with colorful Lizard Skins tape with a custom “Trout #27” sticker applied. The 3-time MVP has signed the barrel in contrasting silver marker and inscribed “GU/17.” A Trout gamer with all the bells and whistles you want on the bat of the hottest player in the game today. This bat comes with an LOA from Anderson Authentics for the game use and signature.
