HBT: Rangers' prospect Profar, 19, homers in 1st at-bat

Sometimes it feels like this stuff has to be scripted.

Rangers?prospect?Jurickson Profar crushed a pitch into the right field stands in his first major league plate appearance Sunday at Cleveland?s Progressive Field, becoming the youngest player to homer in a major league game since Adrian Beltre in 1998.

MLB.com already has the video highlight.

Profar, a 19-year-old shortstop, was promoted to the Rangers? active roster on Saturday and is getting his first taste of action Sunday at second base with Ian Kinsler fighting a sore back.

The?Curacao native was batting .281/.368/.452 with 14 homers and 62 RBI in 126 games at Double-A Frisco before his call-up. He should get a couple of starts per week down the stretch for first-place Texas.

********************

UPDATE, 2:35 PM: Profar hit a double to left field in his second at-bat and popped out in his third.

UPDATE, 3:23 PM: Profar flied out to center field in his fourth trip to the plate. He is 2-for-4.
