The superstar of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Mike TroutApparently it feels good. Trout missed Monday’s game with flu-like symptoms, but this Friday he hit a solo home run off the right-hander of the Texas Rangers, Dane Dunningat the top of the first inning. It was projected at 472 feet to deadlock, hitting the longest home run in the majors so far this season.

He also tied Globe Life Park’s record for the longest blast in the field’s brief history (three years), as he matched a 472-foot home run by Oakland Athletics’ Seth Brown on July 10, 2021:

Center fielder Trout’s home run came on a 3-1 count 91 mph fastball and left the bat at 112.9 mph, per Statcast. The shot went right into the middle meadow, hit a wall and returned to the field.

I am a fan of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and all Mexican baseball in general. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterruptedly since 2009), signatures of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, although as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I have baseball in my veins. Degree in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and a reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I arrived at El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services at Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and a few days later, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. This is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
