Stunning Mike Trout original 2012 rookie stat baseball signed by the 3-time American League MVP back in 2012. The ball is extensively signed: "Mike Trout, 2012 AL ROY, .326 AVG, 182 Hits, 49 SB, 30 HR, 83 RBI" in bold, blue pen. Both the ball and the signature/inscriptions have remained in mint condition which is extremely rare given the number of inscriptions. Trout led the league in stolen bases his rookie season and finished 2nd in the AL MVP balloting while also adding a silver slugger award to his trophy shelf. This is, without a doubt, one of his most coveted autographed items due to its extensive inscriptions and the fact that he signed it right after his rookie season had concluded. There is an MLB Authentication hologram on the ball itself as they were present for the signing. Also includes the original MLB Alumni Marketing LOA from 2012 as well as a JSA Auction LOA.
