Baltimore – Andrés Chaparro was playing for the D-backs’ Triple-A affiliate when he was informed he had been traded to the Nationals in a deal for Dylan Floro, a mere two weeks ago.
Chaparro, 25, left the Reno Aces to join his new teammates on the Rochester Red Wings and continue his goal of reaching the Major Leagues.
On Tuesday, he was in in the visitors quarters inside Oriole Park at Camden Yards, where he was welcomed by his name on the back of a Nationals jersey.
After eight seasons in the Minor Leagues, Chaparro had been called up to make his big league debut in the series opener against the Orioles.
Chaparro making history: Chaparro became the third player in AL/NL history (since 1901) to hit three doubles in his debut. He joined Nick Evans (May 24, 2008, NYM) and Ben Grieve (Sept. 3, 1997, OAK).
In Nationals team history (2005-present), Chaparro became the first player to hit multiple doubles and the first to collect three hits in his debut. He is also the third Nats player to collect two extra-base hits in his debut, joining Ian Desmond (Sept. 10, 2009) and Brandon Watson (Aug. 9, 2005) – both of whom hit a double and a home run.
