Rookie’s First HR Against Position Player | Minnesota Twins News

Walker Jenkins, a 21-year-old Twins prospect, smashed his first career home run — off a surprise pitcher, Zach McKinstry, a position player brought in to throw in a blowout game. Facing a slow 37 mph pitch, Jenkins stayed calm, aimed for the foul pole as coached, and sent it soaring for a two-run blast down the right-field line. The homer came early in his MLB stint, where he’s already batting .250 with a solid OPS of .940 and three RBIs. It’s not just a milestone — it’s a wild, unforgettable moment that proves baseball’s unpredictability, with a rookie hitting a home run against a guy who doesn’t usually pitch.
