It was a historic day at Wrigley Field on Tuesday as Jahmai Jones made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut for the Milwaukee Brewers. Jones, who was selected in the second round of the 2017 MLB Draft, had been waiting for this moment since he was drafted.
Jones made the most of his opportunity, as he recorded a 3-run double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Brewers a 6-3 lead over the Chicago Cubs. It was the first time Jones had ever stepped foot on a major league diamond and he made sure to make it count.
The 21-year-old outfielder had been tearing it up in the minor leagues prior to his call-up. He was batting .320 with five home runs and 26 RBIs in just 33 games with the Brewers’ Triple-A affiliate in San Antonio.
Jones’ performance on Tuesday night was a testament to his hard work and dedication. He has been working tirelessly to make it to the major leagues and his dream finally came true.
The Brewers went on to win the game 8-3, thanks in large part to Jones’ 3-run double. It was a memorable night for Jones and the Brewers organization, as they celebrated their first win of the 2021 season.
Jones’ performance is sure to be remembered for years to come. He has already made a name for himself in the MLB and is sure to be a key contributor for the Brewers this season. It will be exciting to see what else he can do in the majors and how far he can take his career.
