It goes without saying that Angels star Mike Trout is one of the best players in all of Major League Baseball.

The fans have Trout's back, too.

The regining American League Most Valuable Player was named the starting AL center fielder for July 14's All-Star Game on FOX, it was announced by MLB on Sunday night.

The 23-year-old, also the MVP of last year's ASG, is hitting .300 (through 81 games) with 21 home runs, 44 RBI and 59 runs.
