Feb. 16 (UPI) -- There is a reason why Mike Trout has had one of the most decorated starts to a career in Major League Baseball history.

The two-time American League MVP has been posting videos of his offseason workouts lately as he prepares for the 2017 season in New Jersey.

On Thursday, the Los Angeles Angels outfielder posted a video of him running with a bar of weights lifted behind his head. FOX Sports reported that the weights were 135 pounds.

"@pdrtrainer with a special send off to #LAAspring...," Trout wrote on Instagram.
