First at bat, just gonna hit a home run, bringing home a former NL MVP, then get a high-five from Freddy, Kershaw and the boys in the dugout, no biggie.

Also smacked a double and single in the game. Went 3-4 with 2 R and 3 RBI, just a great debut.

All these family moments always get me so touched and emotional. It is amazing to make it to major league and hit a homer in first at-bat, but having family witnessing it and celebrating it with you is even better

I really like how Joe Davis took the Vin Scully approach here and didn’t talk over the sights and sounds of the crowd cheering to really let the moment speak for itself. Wow. I had no idea that Vinny would pass less than 24 hours after making this comment. The best there ever was or will be.

It’s crazy to think how different things could’ve been had they called that second pitch a strike.

What a Thrill for any player to be able to say "I hit a Dinger my first time up in The Bigs"....BUT....To have your Family there in person to share this moment is A GRAND SLAM of Epic Emotions! Cheers From REDS Country Everyone!

Congratulations buddy Good luck in the future

i have seen this video over 100 times. Very bad day for me today but watching this cheers me up!! Congrats James and family. I hope this is just the first homerun of many to come with the Dodgers!!

Almost hit for the cycle in his debut game, wheat a memory

He has a really nice family. Happy for them and especially James. He had a great numbers in AA and AAA. I'm a Yankee fan and we have Anthony Volpe in the minors and he's the future SS, only a year away and still really young. Cool homerun. Weather was great in Denver from what I saw. Wish him future success in MLB.

Outman hit it out, man.

For his first time at bat for the team he looked relaxed and ready ( Just another day at the park) This kind of attitude is what makes a great player because his "Head is in the game" he's just focusing on the ball. No doubt this guy's a star in the making

I love pure joy and happiness his family show. You couldn't script it much better

Shout out to Vesia for getting him that ball. Way to go Outman 🙌.

Welcome to the DODGERS we got ourselves a special one LA baby

Was at this game all I remember thinking was I will be one of the few people that got to see someone on the board batting at 1.000

Quick Bat..! Wow!! watch how fast he turns on that...

And rounded the bases with his professional game face on, waiting to celebrate with teammates in the dugout. Love it.

That's out, man. Great name for a ball player.

He crushed that ball!

Congrats man that’s insane

My Son called me up to ask me if I was watching the Giants game as the Dodgers are in SF this week of 8/1/22 as he knows I'm a life long Giants fan back since the Willie Mays days to tell me his classmate from High School just got called up to the Dodgers and hit a HR in his first MLB at bat. Local boy from Redwood City makes good. His family was going crazy...!! LOL

What dreams are made of.Congrats!

When you almost hit for the cycle in your debut… 😮‍💨🔥👏🏽

How cool is that? Every boy dreams hitting one in their mlb debut to do it is amazing.

I somehow missed that game - what a joy to see it now. There's something about this guy that's instantly likeable, beyond the obvious talent. We're lucky to have him as a Doyer!

This was super fun to watch live

When you get the smile out of Clayton you did somethin right

Best team in baseball without a doubt

Great job... your part of history now.

Congratulations to you James, from a Dodger fan in Oklahoma City!! It gave me the chills, and to see your mom tear up is SO heartwarming!

Vesia looked like a kid with the ball. I loved it. 😆

JAYS FAN SUPER AWESOME MOMENT

I am a Padres fan, and I never thought I would ever cheer for a Dodger player, ever! That moment is so special, not just for the kid but for his family, I just couldn't help myself!

PRIMER TURNO EN GRANDES LIGAS Y PEGA JOMRON ESO SI ES EMPEZAR CON EL PIE DERECHO,EN HORA BUENA.

This feat has been achieved just 132 times- hitting HR on your first at bat.

Ahhh tears of joy! Gotta love baseball ⚾🤘

Reminds me of when Freddie hit his first homer against a basically unhittable pitcher at his first at bat on the braves. Good old times

He's got a beautiful swing

Couldn't have gone better for the kid in MLB debut. 3 hits and a HR in first AB. Welcome to the big leagues!!

The dodgers could legit sign a guy bagging groceries at a super market and he’d have a .950 OPS for half a season.

And he's having a monster 2023 Spring training too.....

I love to see the rookies succeed.

That's awesome 👏👏👏 !

I’m glad he wasn’t out, man.

this kids gonna be a star! he even hit a homerun today on opening day.

That kid must have felt like a thousand bucks right there.

Nice swing crushed that ball💯

That is beyond great!

I’m so proud to be a Los Angeles Dodger another one enters greatnesses.

As a Padres fan who very much dislikes the Dodgers, way to go man! His (sister, girlfriend?) crying had my eyes sweating.

"Could this actually happen?" That would be a YES, and it's happened many times before Mr. Outman did it. Congrats young man!!

Man! I don’t care how much money you have or how much they pay you, you can’t buy that!!!! What a rush!!!

Thats awesome!

2:34 He is easily one of the most hyped guys with the Dodgers. 😂

First I’m a dodger fan and this is so awesome

Priceless

As a left hand batter playing in HS, lefties like it down and in to hit it belt on off the field. Based on the slow motion, the ball was hanging in a little in the center before it dropped and then he BELT it. NICE.

how can you not be romantic about baseball?

This is why MLB will be the last Pro Sport to that I will finally excise from my soul. It will be NBA, then NFL, then MLB, then NCAAF. Baseball is still treble hooked into the American psyche, perhaps one hook of the three remains, but, nevertheless, still hooked. Congrats to James Outman, a rival NL west player no less. Beautiful.

This must of felt unbelievable Congrats more to come Go Dodgers

Homerman 🔥

Love these stories

Those are the most memorable. Not a dodger fan, but congrats!

Thats special!

That's awesome. Luckily his first AB was Coors Field.

Awesome for him and his family! Go Cubs!

WOW WOW WOW!

That wasn't a cheap one either. 405ft is very respectable

Wonderful moment, but the line about being too unrealistic for Hollywood is overused. Akil Baddoo of Detroit hit a homer on the first pitch of his first bat, hit a grand slam in his second at bat, and had a walkoff hit in his third game. THAT was too unrealistic for Hollywood.

So freaking cool!
