Mike Trout's newborn son, unsurprisingly, has initials B.A.T.

With the initials B.A.T, Trout must've had baseball in mind when naming his child. Quite frankly, the name choice is epic. 

However, the middle name  has a special meaning. The couple decided to honor Jessica's late brother Aaron Cox who died two years ago at the age of 24. Cox was a minor leaguer in the Angels system and Trout was very close with him. 

With the baby's due date imminent, Trout was considering opting out of the 2020 season due to the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic. However, he announced to reporters two days before Opening Day that he'd be playing. 

Trout, the reigning MVP, was placed on paternity leave by the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday and is expected to return to the lineup on Sunday.
