Getting that first hit in the major leagues is a big moment in the career of any player. There are some players who’ve had the hits mean even more because they came in a big spot.
Jordany Vladespin is the latest player whose first hit had some extra meaning, because he was able to help the New York Mets to a victory.
A number of players have came up to the plate and immediately had success. There is a fairly lengthy list of players who have hit home runs in their first at-bat. For some of them, though, it would also be the last home run that they ever hit.
