En route to the 2014 AL MVP award, Los Angeles Angels wunderkind Mike Trout clubbed the 30th of his career-high 36 home runs with this 33.5-inch un-cracked Old Hickory off Miami Marlins hurler Henderson Alvarez at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on August 27, 2014. With this significant home run, Mike joined a group of only four other players in MLB history to have twice had 30+ home run years by their age 22 seasons. Pro Maple MT27* Mike Trout model cupped-end bat reveals evidence of excellent game use with a consistent concentration of ball impressions and blue ink transfers around the barrel with residual Mota Stick on the grip end of the handle and a coating of pine tar on the “Old Hickory” labeling. The knob end of the bat has been wrapped in Trout’s trademark spiral adhesive tape wrap to enhance the lower hand grip and Trout signed the barrel of the bat in bright silver sharpie with a “HR #30 vs. Mia 8-27-14” and “MVP 14 G/U” inscriptions. Solid piece of comes with PSA/DNA certification #1B06535 for the bat and #Z00020 for the signature as well as an Anderson Athletics LOA and hologram #1162.
