Eddys Leonard, who started 2026 in Brewers' minors, gets first MLB hit
Eddys Leonard, who spent most of the 2026 season with the Brewers at Class AAA, got a joyous first MLB hit with the San Francisco Giants.
Eddys Leonard, a minor league veteran, achieved his first Major League Baseball hit on Wednesday, August 5th, while playing for the San Francisco Giants. The 25-year-old, who has over 3,000 minor league plate appearances, hit a double over Texas Rangers left fielder Wyatt Langford. This significant milestone came after Leonard's release from the Milwaukee Brewers at the end of June, following an opt-out clause in his contract.
Before joining the Brewers in late 2025, Leonard had proven himself in the minors, recording an .873 OPS and hitting 12 home runs for the Nashville Sounds this year. He was selected by the Giants on August 4th and promptly made his MLB debut the following day.
