Starling Marte Knows How to Partay

Starling Marte couldn't wait even one pitch to make a name for himself in the big leagues. He took the very first pitch of the game tonight and drove it out of the park for his first career hit, home run, run scored, and run batted in. It was a meatball of a pitch, and the Pirates newest outfielder didn't miss it.

I am glad to say that #MartePartay has been trending ever since Starling hit the bomb, and I have a feeling that hashtag might stick around for awhile. Twitter is pretty awesome.

Wherever Marte goes from here, he had quite a debut. The Pirates certainly got a lot better by promoting him, but don't be surprised if he struggles a bit eventually. Unfortunately, he's not going to get to face Dallas Kuechel every night. It will be very interesting and exciting to see what he does with the rest of his season and career.
