During 2012, his highlight reel of plays in the field was better than most players' entire career of plays. Against the Orioles in Baltimore, Trout jumped high, reached out and took a home run away from J.J. Hardy. Gordon Beckham of the White Sox was next; and as well as jumping up to bring back the ball, Trout also had to sprint to get there as it was hit to left-center. Then it was time for his fans in Anaheim to see him in action, and when Seattle's Miguel Olivo hit the ball 405 feet to center field, where the fence is 400 feet from home plate, Trout not only jumped up to get the catch but also threw to first for a double play. When Detroit's Prince Fielder hit a shot to center field, it was once again Trout jumping up and reaching over to catch the ball and deny another homer.
