Cubs Rookie Christopher Morel Breaks Down His MLB Debut Home Run

Cubs Rookie Christopher Morel had a memorable MLB debut. On May 17, Morel got a chance to pinch hit in the 8th inning of the Cubs-Pirates game. With a full count, Morel crushed a home run and sent Wrigley Field into a frenzy. Morel walks us through each pitch of his first big league at-bat in this episode of The Breakdown, presented by CDW.

I watch every cubs game and Morel is exactly what we needed to keep the cubs tradition of being magical alive. Him and Seiya are right where they belong!

[@marcoarroyo7712]

That boy is really something special. EVERYTHING the cubs could ask for and everything us fans want to see in a player. Hes always smiling and playing with heart. LOVE THAT GUY!

[@savinab2530]

Morel’s enthusiasm and confidence is what makes him such a great guy. He’s such a great player and being in a team in a rebuild this kid has a great future ahead of him👏🏻

[@T3LoganLegend]

He's Definitely up next and will fill the heart and soul of the team just like Javy once did. #CubsNation

I love how proud Contreras looked when Morel hit that home run!

[@RollerCoasterManiac2020]

Chris is an AMAZING young ball player, I hope he sticks around!

[@RojoCube]

That homerun still gives me the chills.

[@lizrutherford2656]

I love watching him. Good bat, good eye, respects fellow players and makes people happy. I hope he sticks around and becomes part of the next core.

[@thatoneguywiththebeard]

The smile he always has is contagious!

[@jann3443]

Everything about Christopher is infectious! He's such fun to watch. He always makes me smile. And frankly, when he's taking deep breaths, I'm taking them along with him!!! I wish him a long and very successful career!

[@joshuaalmaguer2873]

I was at the game Section 312. I called HR and he delivered, it was awesome

[@kennybegeske8824]

My Man Christopher Morel

[@ericvansickle4305]

Bienvenidos al Show, Christopher! The only thing that would have made this moment much like his mentor Willson was if he homered on the first pitch like Contreras did on Father's Day 2016.

[@grim_2652]

Thanks for advertising this to me really enjoyed it!

[@JaymesRayLord]

That’s A Sign For A Great Future For The Cubbies ⚾️⚾️⚾️

[@shawngraf6060]

I was at that game! It was an absolutely incredible moment. I've been to Wrigley Field quite a few times but I can't think of a time the stadium was that loud! Absolutely incredible moment for Chris and the fans!

[@pc88k]

[@sparkishim-ttv]

This brings tears to my eyes seeing his best friend willson get traded tomorrow 😔

[@jfh9219]

I loved watching this. You can see how he brings that to his teammates and it shows on the ways he plays. It's good as a fan to see we have a young man that appears to be one of the new mainstays of our team!

[@famguy218]

This season sucks but man guys like Morel and Suzuki have made it so much more fun.

[@PopOutPaulie]

Kid went from Double A playing in front of 1000 people to hitting a Hr in his 1st MLB AB in front of 40K+ people. Can't imagine the emotions running through his body at that moment

[@jacobhoffie7546]

I gotta be honest, when Willy plays the Cubs in a Cardinal uniform, Morel is going to be hurt. What a moment for the man! Hopefully you can move on from Willy! Let's go Christopher!
