A College Baseball Record: Three Grand Slams in a Game
Baylor's Tyce Armstrong made history in the 2026 college baseball season, becoming the second college player to hit three grand slams in a game and the first in 50 years.
During the Bears' season opener against New Mexico State, Armstrong showed off his incredible power at the plate. He hit three grand slams, an achievement that is incredibly rare in Major League Baseball (MLB).
But how rare is it? Only 13 MLB players have ever hit two grand slams in a game, and it hasn't happened since 2009. Armstrong's feat is even more impressive, as he became the second college player to hit three grand slams in a game and the first in 50 years.
Armstrong's first grand slam came in the third inning, extending Baylor's lead to five runs. His second grand slam came in the fourth inning, and his third grand slam came in the seventh inning, with the bases loaded and two men on. The game was called on the run rule after seven innings, with Baylor winning 15-2.
This achievement is a testament to Armstrong's incredible talent and power, and it will go down in college baseball history as one of the most impressive feats ever seen.
But here's where it gets controversial... Some people might argue that grand slams are less impressive in college baseball than in MLB, due to the differences in pitching and defense. What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
