Trout is in the 12th season of his MLB career, and he has been with the Angels for all 12 seasons. 

He had been a top prospect, and was a rookie at 19-years-old. 

The three-time MVP has lived up to the hype, because he is one of the greatest players to ever play the game of baseball. 

At just 30-years-old, he is already a ten-time MLB All-Star and only didn't make it in two seasons (one of them being his rookie year). 

One of the only things that Trout has yet to accomplish is postseason success. 

The only time that he has been to the playoffs was in 2014 when the Kansas City Royals swept the Angels 3-0.
