The Toronto Blue Jays\u2019 Charles McAdoo, a former Spartans star for both De La Salle High and San Jose State, had a memorable major league debut on Friday night. Just don\u2019t ask him to describe it.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old infielder launched a two-run home run off the Orioles\u2019 Trevor Rogers in the seventh inning of the Blue Jays\u2019 furious come-from-behind 6-5 win in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

McAdoo, the majors\u2019 first position player from San Jose State since the Giants\u2019 Kevin Frandsen in 2015, said his \u201cheartbeat was beating pretty fast\u201d all day. But he couldn\u2019t really say what he was feeling when he belted a 93 mph fastball 369 feet over the right-center field fence to cut Toronto\u2019s deficit to 5-4.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw it clear the wall, kind of just ran around the bases,\u201d McAdoo told reporters. \u201cI can\u2019t even put it into words. It\u2019s just awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jays later took the lead on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.\u2019s two-run double in the eighth inning, which capped a furious rally from a 5-0 deficit.<\/p>\n

McAdoo was hitting .250 with eight home runs and 27 RBIs in Triple-A when he was called up to the majors. He was originally drafted out of San Jose State by Pittsburgh in the 13th round of the 2023 MLB Draft, then traded to Toronto in 2024 for Isiah Kiner-Falefa.<\/p>\n
