Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout achieved a major career milestone on Sunday with a towering 443-foot home run. His two-run blast not only powered the Angels to a 4-1 victory over the Mariners but also pushed his career total to 1,001 RBIs.

A Milestone Hit in a Big Moment

Trout had remained at 999 RBIs since Wednesday. However, in the series finale at Angel Stadium, he crushed a four-seam fastball from Logan Gilbert deep to center field, making a strong statement with his 19th homer of the season.

Acknowledging Team Support

After the game, Trout spoke in the clubhouse and credited his teammates. He emphasized that individual milestones depend on collective effort:
“It’s pretty cool,” he said. “It takes your teammates to get on base to accomplish that. None of these accolades happen without them. So it’s been fun.”

Trout Joins an Elite Group of Players

By reaching 1,000 RBIs, Trout became the ninth active MLB player to hit this mark. He now shares company with Freddie Freeman, Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, Andrew McCutchen, Carlos Santana, Giancarlo Stanton, Manny Machado, and Bryce Harper.

He also became only the third player in Angels franchise history to record 1,000 RBIs—following Garret Anderson (1,292) and Tim Salmon (1,016). Back in 2020, Trout had already claimed the Angels’ all-time home run record by surpassing Salmon’s 299.

Reflecting on Franchise Legacy

Trout expressed pride in joining Angels legends.
“When guys have played here so long and contributed that much to the team, it means a lot,” he said. “To be in the same conversation with them is pretty special.”

Numbers That Speak for Themselves

So far this season, Trout’s performance includes:

• 80 games played (55 as designated hitter)
• 19 home runs
• 47 RBIs
• 7 doubles
• Batting line: .237/.361/.470
• Career home runs: 397

Trout Continues to Dominate the Mariners

Fittingly, Trout reached the milestone against the Mariners—a team he consistently dominates. He now holds the all-time record for:

• Most home runs vs. Seattle (55)
• Most total bases (441)
• Most runs scored (147)

Teammates React with Praise

Outfielder Jo Adell shared his admiration:
“He couldn’t have scripted it better. That was a big-time blast. I feel lucky to have started my career here and seen him evolve. He’s just an unbelievable talent.”

Veteran pitcher Kyle Hendricks, who earned the win, also praised Trout’s achievement.
“A thousand RBIs is so much. As Kenley [Jansen] said, that’s like 100 RBIs every season for 10 years. It’s crazy to witness that as a baseball fan.”

Managing a Knee Injury While Staying in the Lineup

Trout has played as a designated hitter since May 30 due to a bone bruise in his surgically repaired left knee. He attempted to return to outfield drills after the All-Star break but experienced discomfort and paused the effort.

“The last few days it’s been a little achy,” he explained. “When I tried to ramp up intensity, it got sore again. But I still feel good enough to hit, and I want to stay in the lineup.”

A Living Legend Still Writing His Story

According to interim manager Ray Montgomery, Trout’s legacy continues to grow.
“What an accomplishment. Just think about his body of work—it’s truly an honor to watch him every day.”

With nearly 400 home runs, over 1,000 RBIs, and a decorated career that includes three AL MVPs and 11 All-Star selections, Mike Trout remains a cornerstone of the Angels and one of the most respected players in baseball.
