Video: Check out Mike Trout’s insane box jump (you probably shouldn’t try this at home)

Just like that.

You don’t get to be the best young player in baseball without doing your homework, and for Mike Trout that involves an absolutely insane box jump on to a 5ft high platform.

Or maybe it was just for fun. Either way, our eyes hurt from watching this.

The LA Angels outfielder has been the best player in MLB for two straight seasons and hasn’t even reached the age of 23 yet (yes, we hate him), and clearly the only thing he doesn’t have on his side is the state of his friend’s smartphone camera.

It’s still very impressive, mind.
