I hope he gets hit in the face at 95+ MPH in every plate appearance the next game he plays. I love showboating, but even I understand a 1st-game rookie should show respect or get what we expect.
I'm from Georgia but was in town for business, ended up at this game. My first time at Wrigley field. It was great to be able to see this moment. Wrigley really is special.
A ball player only gets one first at bat in the MAJOR leagues. He was patient enough to go from 0-2 to 3-2. You could physically feel the magic building. It was just TOTAL JOY AND EXCITMENT!
Had the pleasure of watching & being around Christopher a lot last season while working with the Smokies. He is so very talented, but his true gift is his positivity and fun he brings to the game. He was always smiles, dancing pregame or in the dugout, and just generally a goofy dude, but man, can he clobber a baseball!
I can say with absolute certainty that the three seconds after he hit that ball...knowing he crushed it, watching the trajectory, hearing the crowd...was the best feeling this guy ever had up to this point.
@@markdenton3141 Yeah there's no way he could possibly be one of the 40 THOUSAND people who were at the game..... You must have a lot of fun in life from thinking so negative.
I loved it! I love Christopher's energy and smile. Contreras's excitement and the cheers from the fans made it even more special. Wilson C. had a home run his first time up in 2016. What a special for this young. Keep it up and congrats!!!☺️
The home run was great, but the team chemistry and fan reaction was awesome! To see your team and especially the catcher get that excited for a rookie should make him feel welcomed.
Been banging it this year too! Cubs got some kinks to workout but they are absolutely headed in the right direction. Feels like a division title is possible even this year if they get more consistent.
Padres fan dropping by to spread some love. Don't care what team anyone plays for, seeing someone accomplish their dream brings a little tear to my eye.
I loved the way everyone got out of their seats when the count went to 3-2 possibly hoping the young player would walk after being 0-2. And then bam smash a home run! 😁
Es increíble, Dominicano ,satiaguero ,un cachorro de chicago ,y de la águilas cibaeña ,waooo ,tiene todo lo mío, lo digo por que Soy Dominicano ,soy santieguero ,mi equipo en mlb son lo cubs de Chicago, y obviamente soy un aguilucho 100%frustrado ,arriba cristofer morel ,vamos cachorro 💪
Glad nobody on Pittsburgh took exception. Just a young cat that's been through a lot who homered in his first big league at bat! Congrats Christopher Morel
It's only not the top sport for me because of how many games they play, and the start of the season is during the playoffs for other sports so I don't watch much. Get into late June, I am all in lol
My man really gave himself a self proclaimed curtain call after a fire bat flip. This kids future is bright. Not to mention He's played 4 different positions in just 5 games. Man I can't wait to see the future for this guy. #GoCubsGo
Rounding first not even touching the ground, classic. No one knows about until they feel it, I hit a dinger in the playoffs my senior year and don’t even remember getting to second base! O.I.A.L
About as a cool a moment as any position player could have for a debut at bat. If anybody knows how he's feeling it would be Contreras, since he did the same in 2016. Good stuff, congrats to Morel, wishing him a bright future.
We should give out a Will ‘The Thrill’ Clark award for anyone who hits a homer in their first ML at bat! This Pirates Pitcher was having control problems. BTW The Thrill hit his off of The Great Nolan Ryan! 😉
What an amazing moment. Contreras' reaction, the fans, him missing 1st base at first.. wow. Dreams coming true for that young man. Incredible.
best first at bat ever
I was front row and this was amazing!!!!
@@joelgarcia5501 no kidding? That's AWESOME. Something to remember forever for sure!
Contreras' reaction was poetic. Back in 2016 he homered off the first pitch in his debut as well.
I hope he gets hit in the face at 95+ MPH in every plate appearance the next game he plays. I love showboating, but even I understand a 1st-game rookie should show respect or get what we expect.
I'm from Georgia but was in town for business, ended up at this game. My first time at Wrigley field. It was great to be able to see this moment. Wrigley really is special.
thats awesome
nobody asked you if you were in business that day
@@manuelorosco3834 Who hurt you?
@@manuelorosco3834 your troll game still needs a lot of work. Keep practicing little buddy!

@STRONGEST NATTY IN THE WORLD. I think your Caps Lock key is stuck, but I would need you to post a picture of your keyboard to prove it's not.
If you'll notice the video board on the left field wall it says "Called up from AA Tennessee today...." ....yeah ....it was quite a moment. Great game
look at the stat line there too! pretty tough
Love that the ball cleared right over it to emphasize. So badass
The amount of support he got from the crowd and teammates are next to NONE!!! This is why we LOVE our Cubs!!!!!
Next to none? lol
Sound like playoffs/World Series game
I can say with absolute certainty that the three seconds after he hit that ball...knowing he crushed it, watching the trajectory, hearing the crowd...was the best feeling this guy ever had up to this point.
He absolutely smashed it! I can’t wait for the Jomboy breakdown of this.
Bruh stop overhyping that dude 🤦♂️ all he does is a few min talk over and you idiots idol this guy like he’s a prized possession…..
Now instead of thinking “jomboy’s gonna break this down” I think “somebody’s gonna comment how jomboy should break this down” 😂
they wont bro.. jomboy only care for the yankees.. lol
@@snorlax8963 100% lol
ok
De lo mío! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 he's from my barrio in DR. So happy to see this kid doing well. You have a ton of support Chris, keep it going!
He’s only 22. That’s insane man. Can’t wait to see what this dude does🤙🏼
amazing moment for him. and cubs fans are electric its so beautiful
Watched this live! When the crowd stood up I knew he was going yard. Damn that was awesome ❤️💙
No you didn’t
@@markdenton3141 Yeah there's no way he could possibly be one of the 40 THOUSAND people who were at the game..... You must have a lot of fun in life from thinking so negative.
The instantaneous roar is something I will never get tired of. Bear Down!
De Pueblo Nuevo, República Dominicana para el mundo🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sancri?
Look at the bat flip! Swaggy rookie moment
That’ll get him drilled in the head
That entire stadium was on there feet and had NO idea what was coming. Congrats Morel!
He hit it out of the park literally
I loved it! I love Christopher's energy and smile. Contreras's excitement and the cheers from the fans made it even more special. Wilson C. had a home run his first time up in 2016. What a special for this young. Keep it up and congrats!!!☺️
Contreras first homer was also against the pirates amazing
Cardinals fan for life here. Cubs are despised around my house.
But as a baseball fan, i can't be anything but happy for him!
The home run was great, but the team chemistry and fan reaction was awesome! To see your team and especially the catcher get that excited for a rookie should make him feel welcomed.
I’m so happy for morel!!!! Can’t wait to see how he does In the future
Been banging it this year too! Cubs got some kinks to workout but they are absolutely headed in the right direction. Feels like a division title is possible even this year if they get more consistent.
Dominican 🇩🇴 power 🔋 💪 felicidades a cristofer morel
Amazing, amazing, amzing! Nice job Morel! Can't wait to see more of you. I'm coming to Wrigley to see it in-person.
Another great talented kid from DR 🇩🇴

Wow man , I remember watching Him in DR with the aguilas , happy for him

This guy has been underrated since we signed him. Bright future!
Glad nobody on Pittsburgh took exception. Just a young cat that's been through a lot who homered in his first big league at bat! Congrats Christopher Morel
Wow if you get that many hugs from your teammates you know the team loves you
“let’s f****** gooo” man I know that must feel so good
I am going to miss you Morel
Baseball might not be the top sport anymore but this sport has the best moments like this.
It's only not the top sport for me because of how many games they play, and the start of the season is during the playoffs for other sports so I don't watch much. Get into late June, I am all in lol
I can't understand how baseball isn't the top sports, all the other ones are either very boring or very confusing.
very special moment congrads to the fans and chris!!
Congratulations to Christopher . Welcome to the majors.
That pitcher is a good sport. He sensed the moment, knew his count was down, and laid that ball in the perfect sweet spot for him. I love baseball!
El mejor 🔥🔥
Desde la bahia de pueblo nuevo👍🤪😝🎉😍
@@victordelacruz8562 lo sé yo jugaba con él en la liga Félix de León detrás del estadio cibao
Can I just say LOVE the Cubs❤
Man what a moment
That was an awesome moment for the young man. He crushed it too. Can't imagine what that must have felt like.
What an incredible moment
He must’ve been on cloud 10…amazing at-bat. Congratulations young man!
That's My Man Christopher Morel
Definitely the most electric moment of the season for any team thus far..unbelievable
Phenomenal job!👏🏽
My man really gave himself a self proclaimed curtain call after a fire bat flip. This kids future is bright. Not to mention He's played 4 different positions in just 5 games. Man I can't wait to see the future for this guy. #GoCubsGo
I love baseball!!! Congrats!!!
Rounding first not even touching the ground, classic. No one knows about until they feel it, I hit a dinger in the playoffs my senior year and don’t even remember getting to second base! O.I.A.L
love the energy, congrats kid
Congratulations Morel
The hit was amazing and the bat flip was Legend 🤣
That.......Was........Awesome!!!!
What a special night. ❤🐻
An amazing moment. First of many I hope!
He definitley has a story to tell his future grandkids! Awesome job.
I swear baseball is the greatest game ever played
This kids gonna be a star
He’s gotta have jelly legs in this at-bat. I can’t imagine how wild this had to be for this kid. Mind racing, lights in his face.
About as a cool a moment as any position player could have for a debut at bat. If anybody knows how he's feeling it would be Contreras, since he did the same in 2016. Good stuff, congrats to Morel, wishing him a bright future.
Pretty dope the way the moment built up like that.
Bro hammered that ball
Congratulations, Christopher Morel

This guy!!!
This and Nick Plummer first hit to tie the game. Great night for baseball.
This kid is going places
He will never forget that great turn 😁
How cool is that I hope he has a long career.
Mr Morel and the Big Steppers
What a moment for him!
He’s using the Edwin Diaz walk out song! 👏👏👏Respect to the young man
God I love Wrigley Field
Morel has the batting stance of A-Rod and the power swing of Albert Pujols. Amazing!
He's a star.
I can only imagine how he and his family felt in that moment ⚡
That was like a scene that would happen in a movie 🐻🔴🔵
Right On Warrior that's what I'm talking about Cubbies yeah baby 👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐💪💪💪
It's Your moment!!!!!!!!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍💗💗💗💗💗👑👑👑👑👑💪💪💪💪💪
Welcome to the big leagues, big man!
Crazy how different his stance is this year
He played for a Dominican team and I knew he had it in him.BUEN TRABAJO CHRISTOPHER!
Congratulations to Christopher on his first major league home run.
Contreras his biggest supporter..what a moment
He drained a lot of mana from the pitcher and then cranked it! 👏👏
I remember when Jason Hayward did this 12 years ago it was against the Cubs too!
He hit the ball so hard, it now has a receding hair line.
Destined For Greatness
#CubNation
You gotta love baseball!
That got off the bat in a hurry!! Looked somewhat effortless as well seems as if this kid can do that many many more times to come
GO DODGERS
El mejor cono memo
He's wearing the next fastball he sees.
If we don’t hold onto Contreras I stg. Dude is the life of the team. Love my Cubbies ❤️
