Atlanta Braves Outfielder Jurickson Profar Makes Modern History on Opening Day

Jurickson Profar did his best to drain his former team's pitching staff on Thursday, even if his bat wasn't all that productive.

The Atlanta Braves outfielder led off the Opening Day contest against the San Diego Padres with a single to right. He struck out and stranded a runner in the top of the second, but he at least fouled off three two-strike pitches before doing so.

Profar's performance in that at-bat was just a taste of what he would accomplish the rest of the afternoon.

When he faced a 2-2 count in the fourth, Profar fouled off seven consecutive pitches before grounding out to first.
