Mike Trout may have to look over his shoulder one day when it comes to being the greatest baseball player in the family.
Before Tuesday’s 2026 MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pa., Trout’s son, Beckham, appeared alongside the Los Angeles Angels star on the red carpet and was asked whether he thinks he’ll be better at baseball than his dad.
“Yes,” Beckham responded with all the confidence in the world.
“Are you going to be better than your dad?”

“YES!”

That is a pretty high bar for Beckham to clear, considering Trout’s incredible baseball achievements. Trout’s appearance in the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday was the 12th time of his career, and it’s just one on the long list of his individual accomplishments in the big leagues by the three-time National League Most Valuable Player.
But there is a glaring absence on Trout’s baseball resume, and that’s a win in the MLB playoffs, let alone a World Series ring.
For all his accomplishments, Trout has played in just three playoff games, and all that took place when the Angels got swept by the Kansas City Royals in the 2014 AL Division Series.
Trout’s career is not over yet, but maybe it’s Beckham who’ll get the family a World Series ring.
