early life Dylan James Triani was born in Elk Grove, California to James and Evelyn Triani. While he was the third child born to the couple, he was their first son and there were high expectations for him from early on. James had been considered the top minor league prospect in the mid 80's, but he was never able to make a comeback after his second Tommy John surgery. He had high hopes that his son would be able to do what he was unable to and thrust baseball upon Dylan at an extremely early age. Lucky for James, Dylan quickly fell in love with the sport and never saw the long hours at the batting cages or early mornings on the field as anything other than getting better at something he considered to be his passion. By the time high school rolled around Dylan's life essentially revolved entirely around baseball and he hardly gave much attention to anything else. In high school he was known for being one of the only freshman to ever make the varsity team and for being a multi-tool power player. In his junior year, he threw a no-hitter against rival school Laguna Creek High School, but his senior year he was shifted to the outfield. That year he would go on to hit 18 home runs and win the division championship and despite having committed to East Carolina University, Dylan entered the 2009 MLB draft. He was drafted 25th overall by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. career His career with the Angels started on their rookie-level team, the Arizona Angels, but he was quickly bumped up to the Class A team, the Cedar Rapid Kernels. At the start of the 2010 season he was still in Cedar Rapids and was considered the third-best prospect for the team and the 85th in all of baseball, but by July of that year he was selected for the All-Star Futures game and named the second best overall prospect. Shortly after the Futures game he was moved to Rancho Cucamonga Quakes where he would finish out the season. He was named Topps 2010 Minor League Player of the Year. He would become the youngest player to ever win the award. By the 2011 season he was named the top baseball prospect and had moved to the Arkansas Travelers. He finished the season with a record of .324 with 9 home runs, 27 RBIs and 28 stolen bases in his first 75 games alone.

Dylan was called up on July 8, 2011 and made his major league debut that same night, going 0 for 3. He wouldn't get his first major league career hit until the following night and his first major league career home run happened on July 24, but he was sent back to Arkansas on August 1, only to be called back up on the 19th. On August 30th at the age of 20, he became the youngest Angel to ever hit two home runs in one game. His 2012 career began with the Salt Lake Bees, though it would be the last time he began a season on a minor league team. On April 28th he was called back up to the majors and spent the season breaking a number of franchise and league records, a habit he has yet to break.

personal life

Because Dylan devoted so much of his time to baseball there was never really much time for him to date. It wasn't that he didn't have the desire, he tried for a little while in high school, but they never lasted too long. Eventually he stopped trying. He just didn't think it was right to put someone on the back burner when you were their main focus. Once he really felt like he was secure in Anaheim he allowed himself to start dating casually, but the longest he's lasted in an actual relationship was two months. He's really hoping that he can find someone with a life as busy as his with a passion as strong as his for something they love so that he won't feel like the relationship is too one sided.
