Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki is fitting in well in first season in the major leagues.
He smashed two homers against the Pirates on Tuesday to put the Cubs up 2-0.
The first homer went 397 feet, and the second one went one foot farther at 398 feet.
Suzuki is putting in a powerful first impression as a future National League Rookie of the Year if these first four games are any indicator. He is the only MLB player with eight RBIs and four-plus walks over his first four games since RBI became an official stat in 1920.
He joins Shohei Ohtani as the only Japanese-born players in MLB history to hit three homers over their first four MLB games according to ESPN Stats & Info.
He is on a ridiculous pace to hit 121 dingers this season and currently hitting .455 with a 370 wRC+.
Check out the homers below:
