The baseball world already learned that Trout can reach any fairway in the world when he launched a driving-range ball into orbit earlier this month. But, as it turns out, Trout’s short game is right on par, too. The Angels superstar shared a clip Tuesday night from his Instagram account that showed him sinking a chip shot from his stairway balcony flush into a plastic cup filled with water on the floor below.
