Ben Rice, the New York Yankees' newest sensation, just made franchise history! 🤩 On Saturday night at Yankee Stadium, Rice became the first rookie in Yankees history to hit three home runs in a single game during their electrifying 14-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
Rice kicked off the night with a bang, smashing his first homer against Josh Winckowski in the first inning. But he didn't stop there! He went yard twice more against Chase Anderson in the fifth and seventh innings. Talk about a power surge! 💥💥💥
The Yankees dominated their American League East rivals, outscoring them 12-1 over just three innings. The crowd was on their feet, and the energy was off the charts! 🎉
\"Definitely a day I'll never forget,\" Rice shared, grinning from ear to ear. It's hard to believe he was only called up less than four weeks ago. This rookie is making waves! 🌊
Manager Aaron Boone couldn't hide his excitement either: \"You see the calm at-bats he takes. He understands the strike zone. He doesn't flinch at much. Easy takes. You see the pull-side power that he has too. I just think he combines controlling the strike zone with some barrel awareness and the ability to get the ball in the air pull-side.\"
Could Ben Rice be the next big thing in baseball? With performances like this, he's definitely one to watch! 👀🔥
