Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Jake McCarthy of the Colorado Rockies hit his first career grand slam on May 7, 2026, breaking a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning against the New York Mets. The home run, which traveled 448 feet down the right-field line, helped the Rockies snap a six-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory. McCarthy had also hit a home run the previous night, marking back-to-back games with home runs. This is notable given that McCarthy had only 25 career home runs in 431 games over five seasons prior to the 2026 season, indicating an unexpected power surge.
