St. Louis Cardinals Rookie Joshua Baez Introduces Himself With 3 Home Run Debut

Rookie Joshua Baez smashed three homers in his MLB debut (including a 449-ft blast on his first pitch), showing power to all fields.
The Cardinals routed the Cubs 8-4, with Baez, Jordan Walker and Alec Burleson all going deep as St. Louis unloaded five homers.
Baez was a 2021 draft pick (54th overall) and came up after a big AAA year: .256 with 34 HR and 90 RBI, ranked St. Louis’ No. 3 prospect.
