With his family
looking on from the stands, Mets
third baseman Brett Baty hit
a home run in his very first
Major League at bat.
Baty, who was the 12th overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, came to
the plate in
the top of
the second and drilled a two-run
homer to put the Mets up 4-0 over the Atlanta Braves.
With the blast, Baty is the first Met in 17 years to accomplish the feat and joins Mike Jacobs, Kazuo Matsui, Mike
Fitzgerald and Benny Ayala as the only Mets to start their careers with a homer
in their first at-bat.
The Mets went on to beat the Braves 9-7.
