Mets top prospect Brett Baty hit a HR on his first-ever MLB swing and his family went bonkers
Now this is one way to kick off your highly anticipated MLB career!
On Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves, New York Mets prospect — and 2019 first-round pick — Brett Baty made his MLB debut to much fanfare. After putting up great numbers in the minors, Baty was able to get his shot after a rash of injuries cut through the Mets’ infield depth this past week.
And in his first ever MLB at bat — on his first swing, no less! — Baty smoked a down-the-middle breaking ball to right field for a two-run homer at the top of the second. Talk about a perfect way to start your major league baseball career.
What a moment for Baty. And the reaction of his family in the stands to the home run is just so sweet too!
