Prospect’s Baseball Resume Adds 1st MLB Hit 2023 Topps NOW #431

Grae Kessinger will remember Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians for a long time. The Houston Astros call-up earned his first MLB hit in the fifth inning, facing starter Shane Bieber. The 26-year-old University of Mississippi product slashed an infield chopper on a 1-1 count right into the hole between short and third. The shortstop's baseball prowess should not come as a surprise, as he is the grandson of Chicago Cubs shortstop Don Kessinger.
