Already regarded as arguably the best player in Major League Baseball at the young age of 23, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout gave everyone a taste of his talents in 2011 when he debuted and played 40 games to close the season. Trout wore these Nike batting gloves during that brief stint in the Majors in 2011. Trout signed both gloves in faded blue sharpie alongside the Nike logo with the inscription “2011 G/U.” The red and white gloves show heavy signs of game use, including major wear in the palms and fingers where Trout grips his baseball bat. The white bands around the wrists also feature moderate dirt staining from Trout’s sliding frequency. The size XL gloves boats a Velcro wrist strap with Nike manufacturer’s tag on the inside. The signed, game-used Trout gloves come with an Anderson Authentics LOA signed by Trout and is PSA/DNA pre-certified.
