## Resource

This season’s rookies are rewriting baseball history—fifteen players have already hit homers in their debut, shattering records for most debut homers in a single year. Together, they’ve smashed 19 homers and driven in 49 runs, the highest totals since stats became official in 1920. With fewer rookies even getting a chance to bat, those who do are making every moment count—and their explosive starts are drawing comparisons to legends like Ruth and Gehrig. Joshua Báez stunned fans by hitting three homers in his first game—a feat unmatched in over 23,000 debuts. Multiple players have launched two homers, including walk-off shots, while teams like the Tigers are seeing historic debut performances decades in the making.
