After just under two years in the Minor League, the Angels promoted Trout due to an injury to their everyday center fielder. However, once he was drafted 25th overall by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, he decided it was in the best interest of himself and his family to forgo college and head directly to the Minor League. Trout was committed and ready to play baseball at East Carolina University prior to the 2009 MLB draft. Trout was always a star baseball player, but he was also a star basketball player in high school as well._x000D_ Jeff was a baseball player himself as he played second base for the Twins’ minor league affiliates before an injury derailed his career.


Trout was born in Vineland, New Jersey to Jeff and Debbie. Mike Trout is magical out in center field for the Los Angeles Angels, and there is no way around that._x000D_
