Bateman’s first water dump!

Took it like a champ 🧊💦

[Lindsay Dunn @LindsayDunnTV]

The Blue Jays acquired an outfielder AND a weatherman at the deadline.

“Alright, Bateman, give me the report.”

Brett Bateman’s meteorology background is already coming in handy with his new teammates.

The baseball from Brett Bateman’s first Major League hit is going to his parents 😁

[OK Blue Jays @JaysClubhouse]

A much younger Brett Bateman is pictured here many years back with his Dad Keith. Brett made his MLB debut in Philly last night with the #BlueJays, he reached base 3 times in 4 ab, doubled off the wall on the first pitch he saw, and later scored a run.🤘
Brett Bateman, acquired in the Kevin Gausman trade just this week, was called up from Buffalo earlier in the day when Luis Urias hit the IL. Dad Keith, a career college baseball coach in Minnesota, now at Concordia College, made it to the Bank with his family in time to watch his son crush a first pitch fastball from Zack Wheeler. 🥹

Congratulations to Brett on his first @MLB hit!

Brett Bateman's equipment got delayed on its way to Buffalo earlier this week. So, he played with Jay Harry's stuff for his first Bisons game.

His cleats and bats have made their way to Philly this time, though, for him to hit 9th and debut with the #BlueJays in CF.

[Keith Bateman @coachKBateman]

Looks like we have some weather moving in. @jkempradio @Gate14Pod
