There was never really any doubt but now it's official: Mike Trout has been named an AL All-Star starter for the fourth time in his career. The MLB All-Star Game at Petco Park in San Diego will be Trout's fifth consecutive All-Star selection.
The Angels center fielder and two-time All-Star MVP was the AL's top vote getter in the outfield once again this season posting a .324 batting average with 17 home runs and 54 RBI in the season's first half. The 2016 All-Star Game in San Diego will be Trout's fourth All-Star start before age 25, putting him in a select group that includes Al Kaline, Ivan Rodriguez, Joe DiMaggio, Ken Griffey Jr. and Mickey Mantle.
The 2016 MLB All-Star Game is on July 12 on FOX.
