After being drafted in 2009, Mike started to make his way through the minor leagues. By the end of 2012, he was playing in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game and hitting big home runs. Follow Mike’s story from his years as a high school baseball fan in New Jersey to superstardom in Los Angeles.
