New York Mets rookie Brett Baty got into the swing of playing in the big league in a hurry on Sunday. On the first swing of his MLB debut, he blasted a two-run home run in the Mets’ 9-7 victory over the host Atlanta Braves. (Watch the videos below.)
That makes him just the 131st player to knock it out of the park on his first at-bat. It happened just a few weeks after the Los Angeles Dodgers’ James Outman accomplished the same feat.
“That was awesome,” Baty, 22, from Round Rock, Texas, told the New York Daily News.
