Philadelphia Phillies rookie Weston Wilson homered on the third pitch he saw in his first Major League at-bat against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old was drafted in 2016 and logged 2,836 minor league plate appearances.
Wilson batted seventh against the Nationals and hit a solo shot off Washington starter MacKenzie Gore in the second inning for a 4-0 lead.
\"I did not feel my legs,\" Wilson recalled of his trip around the bases.
Marlon Anderson was the last Phillies player to homer in his first MLB at-bat, on Sept. 8, 1998.
