Trot Times for June 19, 2013

Today is the 10th anniversary of Miguel Cabrera's Major League debut. What did he do that day? Not much, just hit a walkoff home run (it was his first big league hit). The trot? ~20.64 seconds. In the three-plus years of the Tater Trot Tracker, Cabrera's fastest timed trot was 20.93 seconds (hit this year).

Now on to the trots!

Home Run of the Day: Chris Davis #2, Baltimore Orioles – 24.48 seconds [video]
Twenty-six home runs for Davis already this year. Twenty-six. This one landed somewhere in Canda, I think.

Slowest Trot: Aramis Ramirez, Milwaukee Brewers – 25.74 seconds [video]
A. Ramirez beats out H. Ramirez for slowest trot of the day, with Hanley clocking in at 24.86 seconds.

Quickest Trot: Michael Young, Philadelphia Phillies – 17.95 seconds [video]
Young high-tailed it around the bases on the hit that gave him 1,000 career RBIs. His speed beats out Will Venable, who hustled to the tune of an 18.53 second trot.
