It took only one pitch for touted Chicago Cubs prospect Willson Contreras to get acquainted with Major League Baseball.
Contreras, pinch-hitting in the bottom of the sixth against the Pirates Sunday, blasted a 401-foot home run off an 81-mph changeup from reliever A.J. Schugel for the first two RBIs of his big league career.

Contreras joined Jim Bullinger (1992) as the only Cubs to hit a homer on the first career pitch they see. The catcher prospect also joins an impressive list of Cubs accomplishments in their debut games.
Javier Baez hit a game-winning homer in his first MLB, game back in August 2014, while Jorge Soler homered in his first at-bat three weeks later.
