Guardians rookie has historic two-homer performance in regular season debut: 'He's not from this planet'

It’s hard to have a better MLB regular-season debut than Cleveland Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter.

"That’s something I’ll never forget," DeLauter said of his postseason debut last year.

"I won’t forget this one either, don’t get me wrong."

DeLauter’s second blast of the game came in the ninth inning, when he crushed Mariners reliever Cooper Criswell’s cutter 422 feet into right-center field, providing a key insurance run as he gave the Guardians a 6-4 lead.

DeLauter finished the night 3 for 5, which tied him with veteran slugger Rhys Hoskins for the team lead in hits.

Hoskins was particularly impressed with how unfazed DeLauter was in just his third major-league game.

DeLauter is just thrilled to be around the team and available.

In DeLauter’s three seasons in the organization, he has only played in 138 games while dealing with a litany of injuries.

"I mean, just thrilled to be around the guys," DeLauter said.

"Thrilled to be available.

Really excited to just play some meaningful baseball again."
DeLauter will look to continue his hot start when the Guardians (1-0) play the Mariners (0-1) again on Friday at 9:45 p.m.

ET.
