Mike Trout Crushes 485-Foot Blast for Career Home Run No. 400

A fan returned the ball, trading it for signed gear plus a quick game of catch.

Overview

  • Trout became the 59th player to reach 400 career homers and one of only two active players at that mark, joining Giancarlo Stanton.
  • The solo shot came in the eighth inning at Coors Field off a 98 mph sinker from Rockies reliever Jaden Hill and was Statcast-measured at 485 feet.
  • Los Angeles beat Colorado 3-0 to halt an eight-game slide, with Taylor Ward and Nolan Schanuel also homering and Kyle Hendricks throwing seven scoreless in his 300th start.
  • Trout is the 20th player to hit his first 400 home runs with a single franchise, and the blast ranks among the longest tracked at Coors Field since Statcast began.
  • The three-time MVP is batting about .229 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs this season after injury-limited years, having also reached 1,000 career RBIs in July.
