Baylor University baseball player Tyce Armstrong made college baseball history on Friday by hitting three grand slams in a single game, a feat only accomplished once before in 1976 by Jim LaFountain of the University of Louisville. Armstrong's historic performance led Baylor to a 15-2 rout of New Mexico State, with Armstrong accounting for 12 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
Why it matters
Armstrong's record-breaking performance has put him firmly on the radar of MLB scouts ahead of this year's draft. As a first baseman and corner outfielder, Armstrong is seen as a potential right-handed power hitter that could help teams like the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays, who both hold early draft picks and have needs at first base.
The details
In Baylor's season opener against New Mexico State, Armstrong hit three grand slams, becoming only the second player in college baseball history to accomplish this feat. The previous record was set by Jim LaFountain of the University of Louisville, who hit two grand slams in the same inning against Western Kentucky in 1976. Armstrong's historic performance led Baylor to a 15-2 victory, with the Bears' pitching staff also turning in a strong outing.
