The first home run of the 2022 MLB season was hit by Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner vs. the Brewers on Thursday afternoon.
The Brewers vs. Cubs matchup was the first Opening Day game of 2022, so it was only fitting that the first home run took place during this game.
The shortstop hit the home run off of the reigning National League Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes in the bottom of the fifth inning at Wrigley Field.
The ball landed in the bleacher seats in left field, and the fan who caught Hoerner’s home run couldn’t be more excited.
