St. Louis Cardinals prospect Chandler Redmond has taken hitting for the cycle to an entirely new level.

Playing for the Double-A Springfield Cardinals, Redmond blasted solo, two-run, three-run and grand slam homers on Wednesday en route to attaining the “home run cycle,” one of the rarest and most difficult feats in baseball.

“It’s unbelievable,” Redmond said moments after his historic performance, per MLB.com. “I don’t even know what words to use to describe the feelings right now.”

The home run cycle has only been achieved one other time in the modern era – by Tyrone Horne, who, coincidentally, also played for the Cardinals’ Double-A affiliate – on July 27, 1998. The feat has never been accomplished at the major league level.

Redmond began the cycle with a two-run shot in the fifth inning, which was followed up with his moonshot grand slam over the left-center field wall in the ensuing frame. With the two blasts already under his belt, the lefty slugger admitted the chance for the extraordinary accomplishment did cross his mind.

“So after I hit the grand slam, I had a little thought creep into my mind about maybe the cycle, but then I brushed it off real quick,” Redmond said. “I was like, ‘Come on, this was only my second time with a multi-homer game in pro ball.’” 

Following his third home run of the night – a solo blast to straightaway center in the seventh – Redmond’s dream was on the cusp of becoming reality.

“So then walking up for that last at-bat and seeing two guys on, I’m thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, everything is lining up, you can do this,” he said. “So just stay calm and stay within yourself, but if you get a chance to get a ball to hammer, you better not miss it.”

The 25-year-old didn’t miss it, blasting a three-run bomb to cap off the unforgettable night. After being mobbed in the dugout by his teammates and coaches following the final home run, Redmond received a heartwarming call from his biggest fan.

“I actually just talked about it with my dad,” Redmond said. “He’s just so proud of me and he gets so much joy out of watching me play. He’s watched every single college game and pro game, and I know it’s what he looks forward to most at night. So to be able to put on a show like this for him is pretty special.”
