Nate Eaton Stuns Team USA With Leadoff Homer Off Tarik Skubal

Great Britain’s Eaton turned Skubal’s 94.8 mph first pitch into a reviewed leadoff homer, handing the U.S. an instant shock in their World Baseball Classic clash. The blast set the tone for an electric first inning, and Skubal’s response was telling: his next seven fastballs jumped to 96.4-97.2 mph as he tried to hit back with pure pace.
