Ewing walked in his first major league plate appearance in an at-bat that went eight pitches.
Springboro’s current team listened to a broadcast of his first at-bat on their home field right after they finished their home game against Troy with a walkoff win on senior night. The broadcast was put on a loudspeaker so everyone there could listen to it.
Springboro posted a video of this on its X account, showing the players cheering every time Ewing took a ball or fouled off a pitch. They let out a roar when one of the broadcasters mentioned their school. When Ewing drew ball four, they let out a big cheer.
Things got even better for Ewing as the night went on.
Ewing flied out in his second at-bat. In his third, he walked again, stole second base for his first major league theft, and later scored his first MLB run.
In the seventh, he notched his first major league hit and run batted in on a triple to the wall in right field, then later scored another run. In the eighth, he drew his third walk of the night with the bases loaded for his second run batted in.
He wore jersey No. 9 for the Mets, the same as he did in high school.
