The dirty secret is that spring training games are actually extremely boring to sit through, especially after the starters check out. Maybe it was different Back In The Day but I've never experienced that.

yeah I'm cruising through the mlb top 100 prospects and he seems the most likely to reach like Bryce Harper level of stardom

Comparing your prospects to Bryce Harper and Mike Trout will only end in sadness. They are extreme outliers. There are many, many great outcomes for prospects that aren't "as good as 1 of the 2 best players in the game." Don't do this to yourself

Hot take: Who cares if Mike Trout doesn't like bat flips? It's a legitimate opinion and point of disagreement. Everyone plays with a different style.

The point at which it gets stupid is if teams decide that it's a transgression that must be punished. Otherwise, you're free to be affronted by whatever you want.

Mike Trout does have one interesting thing about him: he is obsessed with the weather.
