Mike Trout has suddenly become known for amazing feats with a golf club. First, he sent a ball more or less to the moon while at Topgolf. On Tuesday night, he one-upped himself by pulling off a trick shot that may have taken more than just a few tries. The three-time AL MVP, from all the way upstairs, sent a ping pong ball into a red Solo cup downstairs with a perfect chip shot.

Is there anything this man can't do? Los Angeles Angels fans have been witnessing his magic on the baseball field since 2011. Now, those all over the world can see his golf skills thanks to social media (and social distancing). Trout's reaction is the best, because it is exactly what anyone would do when making such a wild shot.

Trout has apparently been working on his golf game during a time when we are all stuck inside. The real question? How many attempts it took him to nail his latest trick shot. Knowing the greatness of Trout, the answer is probably just one. And at a time when baseball fans are without the game they love, this video from one of the game's greats is exactly what we all need.
