Adley Rutschman

Adley Rutschman became the first catcher in MLB history to hit a grand slam in each of his first two career games played at the designated hitter position. The Orioles' rookie backstop made history on Opening Day at Camden Yards, delivering a pinch-hit grand slam off Houston Astros reliever Framber Valdez in the eighth inning to lead Baltimore to a 7-4 victory. Two days later, Rutschman did it again, this time going deep off Texas Rangers starter Dane Dunning in his first career game as a designated hitter. The switch-hitter's clutch performances marked a historic start to his big league career, showcasing his power from both sides of the plate.
