Mike Trout — eight-time MLB All-Star, three-time American League M.V.P. and one-time Slayer of Golf Balls.
The Los Angeles Angels’ Twitter account posted a video yesterday of the center fielder crushing a golf ball at Topgolf — a popular entertainment venue with a high-tech driving range and fancy lounge where you can get drunk and hit some balls. Or in Trout’s case, demolish some balls.

According to CBS Sports, Trout’s Angels teammate Albert Pujols held a charity event for the Pujols Family Foundation at a Topgolf in Arizona. After the massive drive, you can see Trout, some of his teammates and other MLB sluggers excitedly laugh about the crushage.
But it seems the event was full of insane hits, as the MLB official Twitter posted a video of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger at the event also smacking the shit out of a golf ball.

It’s unknown if either ball registered in Topgolf’s system, which normally can track how far a ball is it. But we’d consider them both home runs.
