The New York Mets were looking for a jolt.
A.J. Ewing certainly provided it in his MLB debut on Tuesday night.
Ewing walked three times, stole a base, and hit a triple. That's a rare trifecta for a debut.
In fact, he's one of just four players 22 or younger (Ewing is 21) to have a triple, a steal and at least two walks in a game in the last 25 years -- the rest of the list is James Wood, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Francisco Lindor. Not bad company, with the stat provided by Mets writer Mike Mayer.

And if you want to take Ewing's stats to their full conclusion, to account for the triple, steal and all three walks, only three players in MLB history have ever done that at younger than 22.
