Mike Trout is a supreme athlete. You already knew that. But it’s still pretty awesome to watch some of his athletic feats, such as him doing a ridiculous plyometric box jump during a recent workout.
Trouty posted the video to his Instagram page on Wednesday and added that there were only 42 days until spring training begins. Think he’s ready for another big season? I’d say so.
Trout is listed at 6-foot-1. The box looked like it came up to the middle of his pecs. Knocking about 18 inches off Trout’s 73 inches in height, and I’d peg that at somewhere between a 55-60″ clearance jump.
If you thought that was impressive — and it surely was — then you have to see this video of ex-Pro Bowl DB Adrian Wilson doing a 66-inch jump.
