Ever since he debuted in the Majors as a 19-year-old in 2011, Mike Trout’s stats only seem to improve with each season. In 2015 he hit a career high 41 home runs, coming in a close second in the MVP voting. Two of those 41 home runs were hit with this offered bat was used by Trout to hit his seventh and eighth home runs of the 2015 season. The seventh home run came during the May 6th game against Roenis Elias of the Seattle Mariners at Angels Stadium of Anaheim, while the eighth home run was served up by Collin McHugh of the Houston Astros the following game on May 7^th, also in Anaheim.

This Old Hickory MT27 model bat shows outstanding use and has a crack in the handle, which occurred during the May 8th game against Houston. There are ball marks and stitch impressions are on the barrel along with cleat imprints and blue ink transfers. Red bat rack paint streaks are visible and there is light coating of pine tar on the upper handle/lower barrel area. The lower handle and knob has been taped in a spiral pattern to enhance the grip. The Angels star has signed the barrel in silver marker and added “15 G/U”, “HR #7 vs Sea” and “HR #8 vs Hou”. This bat comes with a MLB Authenticated hologram (HZ 376696) for the game use and dated this bat to the May 8th game and a LOA from Anderson Authentics (2773) for the game use, specific home runs and signature.
