Mike Trout Hits 400th Career Homer, Shares Memorable Catch with Fan

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout reached a significant career milestone on September 20, 2025, hitting his 400th career home run against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The 34-year-old outfielder, in his 15th season, became the 59th MLB player to reach 400 homers and the 20th to accomplish this feat with a single franchise. The 485-foot blast was Trout's third of at least that distance since Statcast began tracking in 2015, the most by any player. Following the game, a fan named Alberto, who caught the historic ball, returned it to Trout. In a heartwarming exchange, Trout provided Alberto with three signed bats and two signed baseballs, and fulfilled an unusual request to play catch with the fan on the field, creating a lasting memory for Alberto and his son. Trout admitted feeling pressure nearing the milestone, with this being only his second long ball since August 7.
