Mike Trout discusses his spring training routine. Also, he talks about and shows us how he approaches every at bat, and what he looks for with Sean Casey on 30 Clubs in 30 Days.
Sad to see a bunch of people who clearly don't know who Casey is. Not even that he is a former all-star with a career .302 BA, but that he was voted the friendliest guy in the league by his peers in a landslide. Probably because he compliments people and laughs at their jokes, even the ones that aren't that funny. But go ahead and be critical, just don't be surprised when no one likes you. None of us are ever going to hit like Trout, but we can all learn to be as positive as the Mayor.
JediFight the thing is he doesnt have a top third pf the ball swing, i think he was just saying things here only because he really wasnt describing his swing
One of the things Trout does better than anybody is *NOT* hit the top third of the ball. If you look at the leaderboards for balls in play between a 10 and 30 degree launch angle he's always in the top 5 or 10. That's the range wherein many of the hits closer to 10 degrees are going to be 100+ mph rockets into shallow OF and many of the hits at the top of that range are going to be moonshot HRs. Often when you hear an MLBer speak like that it's just a mental cue he's been using to fix a perceived flaw. Sometimes a hitter might think "swing down" but nobody in the Major Leagues actually does that, it'd look ridiculous. One of the things that *great pitchers* do is get hitters to hit the top third of the ball.
I think it was a reference to his tee work when setting the tee high. Given that the high fastball is kryptonite to the modern launch angle hitter, aiming to stay on top of that pitch may just be compensation for all the times he swings under that ball
Mike Trout is the greatest of all time his rookie cards are insane they are doing something no other baseball card has done in the market ever it is so awesome I bought a couple of his rookie cards for $20 $15 long time ago now they're in the hundreds summer in the thousands to huge investment so awesome and I'm so excited.
clown take, wheres judges ring? Yankees wasted his career. wheres bonds ring? what about Rod Carew, Ty Cobb, Tony Gwynn, Ichiro, Griffey Jr all Hall of Fame guys who never won a world series
how.. the.. hell... do you people not realize that Gavin's referring to the dude randomly "laughing, i think?" when trout says, "man.... i can't tell you all my secrets."
WHY do these guys “hosting” these things feel the desperate need to TALK through the entire video??? Ya know it is after all…VIDEO. Meaning it’s NOT RADIO. Meaning you don’t have to keep us entertained by nonstop talking cause we can SEE what’s going on. So relax. No rush. If we want to watch your video you don’t need to “ACT” like it’s really exciting. We’re already excited to WATCH IT. And just a general note about these things. It’s a common mistake to feel the need to fill every second by SAYING SOMETHING. Even if it feels to YOU LIKE there are big open gaps - there aren’t. It to us. Also. Especially when showcasing pro players. Remember WE are already in awe of this guy. Silly but it’s like we have a CRUSH on him which just means that ANYTHING they do is fun. It’s cool to see how the guy stands. What he does with the bat between hits. How he holds himself. Meaning that it’s REALLY OK if everybody is not urgently talking the whole time. Just watching the celeb has our attention. Anyway - just some thoughts for what it’s worth. In fact THE THING that makes me FF a video I really wanted to see is Too much talking. ESPECIALLY the “high energy” “isn’t this day fantastic?!” Talking. A HOST is just that. A “Host”. The number one job of the host is to show off the celebrity. Ok this is really dumb. BUT… ever seen ballroom dancing. The MAN’s sole purpose is to SHOW OFF THE WOMAN. PRESENT HER. Same with hosting.
Says not to drop the back ,shoulder,,,DROPS HIS BACK SHOULDER.Lots of great hitters can NOT teach hitting.They don't know what they do in the actual swing.
Hey my boy Trout teach your secret about that back leg to move forwarerd instead of digging it that wat made my to boys good hitters course I found your back leg trick 😉
Love to see his approach being talked about and what he does before every game!
Hey man I like your channel
@M wow. Why did you comment this?

Soccer isn’t a sport and is for whimps
MANCHESTER UNITED bro you just go around every baseball video and say this
I know soccer is a sport 3 year olds play to have there moms there and tell them good job little jimmy unless they are really good
Yeah maybe because baseball is an American sport so shut up
His swing is so smooth 😍
Funny how he and Donaldson have really different approaches. Mike keeps it very simple and aims top third of the ball.

He hits bottom third
nobody is aiming top third

Best player in baseball. One of the best ever. Angels have wasted his entire career.

Still 100 million dollars though... Thats the only bright side.
clown take, wheres judges ring? Yankees wasted his career. wheres bonds ring? what about Rod Carew, Ty Cobb, Tony Gwynn, Ichiro, Griffey Jr all Hall of Fame guys who never won a world series
All great hitters DROP THEIR BACK SHOULDER
The greatest doesn’t
ELITE player....ELITE swing....
Please keep your hands off the goat.
how.. the.. hell... do you people not realize that Gavin's referring to the dude randomly "laughing, i think?" when trout says, "man.... i can't tell you all my secrets."
It’s interesting how here he is squashing the bug but when he’s really batting he pulls his back leg forward...
It's the difference in the situation and pitch
I'm Yankees fan but Trout is my favorite. He should be wearing Pinstripes
The greatest of all time
I'm confuse now...hitting down or?
Why is everyone ripping Sean Casey Jesus Christ

This interviewer is one that heavy snorting live. I can tell
Spadiciulous you dont know who Sean Casey is?

1:19 Donaldson would say otherwise
Trout swings down on the ball while everyone else is doing the launch angle up.
He doesn't swing down, he thinks swing down.
