St. Louis Cardinals rookie Joshua Báez made Major League Baseball history by hitting home runs in each of his first three career at-bats. The 23-year-old, who was called up from Triple-A earlier in the day, achieved the feat during an 8-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. His performance included a home run on the very first pitch he faced in the major leagues and accounted for five runs batted in.
Báez’s historic debut follows a successful stint in the minor leagues, where he led all players in home runs prior to his promotion. His immediate impact at the major league level marks the first time a player has recorded three home runs in their first three career at-bats.
