Baddoo hadn't played a game above A-ball before he homered on the first MLB pitch he saw. In his second and third games, he hit a grand slam and a walk-off single. Rule 5 pick in '20, still only 22. (And he just RBI-tripled in his fourth game.)

Had it not been for procrastination and Baddoo, this thread would have been titled Hinchin' All Night.

Add an outfield assist.
