Munetaka Murakami is doing his part, but the rest of the White Sox no.
The Japanese superstar has played three games in the Major Leagues, and he’s already etched his name into the history books.
By launching a solo shot against the Brewers on Sunday, Murakami became one of only four players in MLB history to homer in each of their first three career regular-season games.
The Club:
Trevor Story (2016)
Kyle Lewis (2019)
Chase DeLauter (2026)
Munetaka Murakami (2026)
It is wild that we’ve seen 50% of this historic list happen in the same week between Murakami and the Guardians' Chase DeLauter.
Murakami is hitting .333 with 3 HRs, 4 walks, and a massive 1.871 OPS.
He looks every bit like the "God of Baseball" we saw in NPB.
But the White Sox are 0-3.
They’ve been outscored 29-10 in their opening series and just blew a 7-2 lead on Sunday.
If the Sox want to avoid another 100-loss season, they’re going to need someone—anyone—to help Murakami.
