Aquino is also first rookie in Major League history to record home runs in three consecutive innings (2nd-4th), the second to record seven homers in first ten career games (joining Trevor Story in 2016), the second to record a three-home run game in his first ten career games (joining Bobby Estalella in 1997), and the second Reds rookie to hit a three-homer game (joining Joey Votto in 2008). Aquino used this bat from August 10th until August 14th when it broke in his first at-bat. He was awarded National League Player of the Week for his performance. Bat is authenticated, JD198987.
