St. Louis Cardinals rookie Joshua Báez achieved a remarkable feat in his Major League Baseball debut on Saturday, becoming the first player in history to hit a home run in each of his first three at-bats. The 23-year-old outfielder accomplished this historic milestone during the Cardinals' 8-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Báez, who was promoted from Triple-A Memphis earlier in the day, showcased his power immediately by launching a home run on the very first pitch he saw in the majors. He continued his impressive performance with two more home runs in his subsequent at-bats, driving in a total of five runs. This unprecedented debut places Báez in a unique category among baseball's all-time greats.
