Mike Trout’s biggest win? Being a dad. Yes!
Known for his unmatched resilience in baseball, here is a heartwarming glimpse into his life off the field. The Sports Lodge recently shared a “little chit-chat” video with Mike Trout on X, where an unexpected guest made everything sweeter – his son, Beckham Trout.
Roger Lodge (the host) was curious to know if Trout, a three-time MVP, and 11-time All-Star, could handle parenting duties all by himself when his wife, Jessica, wanted a girls’ night out. Looking at his son, Trout asked, “Are we holding down the fort at home?”
4-year-old Beckham did not catch a breath and replied, “Yes.” Fills your heart, doesn’t it?

There was more! When asked about his all-time favorite movie, Trout’s son mentioned, “Happy Feet” that they just watched the previous night.
To add another charm to this wholesome moment, when the little one was asked about his favorite player, he proudly replied, “Dada”. And his second favorite? “Logan.”
It’s overwhelming how Trout has spent years giving everything to baseball. Never-ending training sessions, the pressure of being GOAT, and whatnot. Despite that, moments like these give us a hint that he is just as devoted to his family as well.
Mike Trout’s reaction to his comeback homerun after knee surgery
Mike Trout is already making noise at the plate.
Though he fought with injuries for the past couple of seasons, the Angels’ superstar has kicked off spring training with an enthusiastic booster against the Cincinnati Reds — his first home run since the knee surgery. What did the designated hitter feel?
“It felt good. Just having some good at-bats, seeing pitches, and getting a good result.”
It’s quite simple, but it’s exactly what all of us wanted to hear. Let’s think about it for a minute and be real. When Trout is on the field, he’s the greatest of all time. But the problem? It’s staying on the field.

He has played just 29 games in the last season, and over the past four years, he crossed the 100-game mark only once. That’s why his first comeback homer isn’t just a nice spring training highlight, it’s a sneak peek of what could be if he stays healthy.
To make that true, Trout is making a huge adjustment. He’s shifting from center field to right field. Because the ultimate goal is to cut down the wear and tear and hopefully extend his time in the lineup.
“Looking forward to it, getting some reads off the bat,” Trout mentioned. “It’s different visuals you’ve got to work on and different angles on the line at different stadiums. It’ll be an adjustment, but I’m enjoying it.”
So, the priority is clear: Keep Trout healthy. Because when he plays, baseball gets only better. Don’t you think?
