During the All-Star Red Carpet Show ahead of the 2026 All-Star Game in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Los Angeles Angels star outfielder Mike Trout revealed which team his son Beckham cheers for this year: the Arizona Diamondbacks.

In an interview with MLB Network’s Lauren Shehadi, Trout, with his son Beckham next to him, said that when he hit a home run against Arizona during their series in June, Beckham booed him because he was cheering for the Diamondbacks.

Along with his Diamondbacks fandom, Beckham, who has started playing baseball, was fully confident when asked if he would be better than his dad.

The Diamondbacks and Angels faced off in a three-game series from June 15-17 that saw Arizona take two of three against Los Angeles. Despite losing the series, Trout had a strong showing at the plate, registering five hits with two home runs and four RBIs.

The 12-time All-Star started in center field and led off for the American League on Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. Trout grounded out against D-backs lefty Eduardo Rodriguez in the second inning.
