Mike Trout’s name is once again dominating headlines and breaking an MLB record in 2026. The historic player of the Los Angeles Angels starred in one of the most impressive performances of the season during the series against the New York Yankees, making it clear that he is still one of the most feared hitters in baseball.
In four games at Yankee Stadium, Trout had six hits, five of them home runs, a number that not only made the difference in the series, but also put him in the Major League history books.
A record never seen before in New York
The highlight came with a 446-foot home run.
Mike Trout became the first visiting player to hit a home run in four consecutive days at Yankee Stadium.
This achievement is especially relevant considering the history of the stadium and the quality of pitchers that have passed through it.
Although other players have achieved similar streaks against the Yankees, none had done it in New York in a full series as a visitor.
In addition, Trout extended his dominance if you take into account his last game in that park in 2025.
Joining Aaron Judge as the only players to hit home runs in five consecutive games at the current Yankee Stadium since its opening in 2009.
A performance that puts him among legends
With these five homers in a single series against the Yankees, Mike Trout joined a historic list along with:
Jimmie Foxx (1933)
Darrell Evans (1985)
George Bell (1990)
What sets their record apart, however, is that Mike Trout did it in the Bronx itself, something none of the above achieved.

Mike Trout’s reaction
The player himself acknowledged that he was not aware of the magnitude of what he had achieved until after the game.
“To hear that after the game is pretty surreal.”
“With all the great players that have come through here, it’s unbelievable,” he said.
He also said he felt in better physical shape after years complicated by injuries:
“I’m very close to my best level. I felt good at the end of last year and now it’s about keeping the routine and seeing the ball well.”
