Rookie Joshua Báez has done the absurdly unthinkable-- i.e., hit THREE Home Runs in his very first Major League Baseball at-bats

On top of THAT? It gets even mondo-crazier--

Each homerun was hit to a completely different area of the stadium. This is important to note, because almost every power-hitter in history has a certain 'range of success,' i.e. a certain area of the outfield in which their individual style and skills work best to hit to, based on the pitches they commonly see, plus other factors, such as the way MLB pitchers specifically throw to them.

In terms of the context noted, Báez' accomplishment is likely ~99.9% an instant-sports record that will never be broken. And it happened from nowhere, just like that!

NOTE: this all happened just this recent Saturday, August 15th, 2026.
