Joshua Báez of the Cardinals hits 3 homers in his first 3 at-bats in a historic major league debut

Joshua Báez, the Cardinals, smashed the first pitch he saw in the majors and followed up with two more home runs in his first three at-bats, making history as the first player in modern baseball to hit three home runs in his debut. The 23-year-old, who had 30 family members in attendance at Wrigley Field, delivered his first home run on the first pitch he saw from Matthew Boyd, landing a staggering 449 feet away in left-center field.

Báez's second home run was a solo shot down the left-field line, while his third went the opposite way, contributing five RBIs in the 8-4 victory for the Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs.
