Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story added two more home runs to his impressive ledger during Friday's 13-6 loss to the San Diego Padres, thus becoming the first player in MLB history to hit six home runs through his team's first four games of a season, per Sportsnet Stats.
Four other players hit five homers in their team's first four games, with Adrian Gonzalez (2015), Chris Shelton (2006), Barry Bonds (2002) and Lou Brock (1967) doing the honors.
Story is also one of just five players to homer in each of his team's first four games of a season, joining Chris Davis (2013), Nelson Cruz (2011), Mark McGwire (1988) and Willie Mays (1971), per Nick Groke of the Denver Post.
Of course, none of the aforementioned players accomplished these feats as rookies, making the 23-year-old Story all the more impressive.
Per Sportsnet Stats, he's the first player to hit a home run in each of his first four MLB appearances.
Furthermore, Story joins McGwire as the only rookies in MLB history to hit six home runs over any four-game stretch of a season, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info).
