Mike Trout is so good, his highlights come in pairs.

The Los Angeles Angels outfielder showed off his phenomenal two-way play Wednesday with a mammoth shot in the third off Seattle left-hander Roenis Elias, only to out-do himself four innings later with a spectacular diving catch in center.

Trout's seventh homer of the season was a 441-foot blast to the deepest part of the field with a batted ball velocity of 107 mph, according to MLB Statcast. The reigning MVP leads the majors in home runs of at least 425 feet in distance since the beginning of 2013.

The catch was even better.

Trout chased down a hard-hit liner into the right-center gap off the bat of Chris Taylor in the seventh inning before laying out for the incredible highlight-reel grab.
