I knew mike when he was 5 years old. His dad was my football coach in high school. Mike would be out there NAILING rocks with a bat and his form when he swung, even that young, was perfection!! Anyone who ever saw him play, when he was younger, knew that he was gong to go pro. Plus, this kid is one of the most generous and gracious human beings on the planet. Just an all around great guy and someone you are happy to see succeed. His dad is pretty cool too.... thanks for giving the world Mike coach Trout!

It’s a shame more people aren’t aware of who he is. Such a great player.
@drizzle452 6 years ago

It’s easy to hate on A-rod for plenty of reasons, but the dude is kind of a baseball savant. The one thing he is genuine about is his love for baseball...funny that trout doesn’t seem particularly cerebral or unorthodox with his approach—he just does it better than anyone else

As A Cal Ripken Minor Coach This Footage Is Gold. Thank You ESPN.

A-Rod is one of the best when it comes to analysis, talking baseball and especially hitting. A-Rod and Trout talking baseball, nothing short of magical.

This dude absolutely crushes my A's. But I can't not watch, he's such an amazing talent.

Great interview. I’m impressed with Alex’s interviews. He does his homework and you can tell he’s still a student of the game although he’s retired. You really know knows his hitting. Too bad he won’t be getting into the HOF!
