DeLauter was making his MLB debut in as big a moment as one can have, and it didn’t get off to a good start. On his first chance in center, he dropped a flyball that certainly had some movement due to wind, but still was an obvious error. He drew a walk in his first plate appearance, however, and he made a huge throw to get Zack McKinstry out at third to prevent another run from scoring and kept the game 1-1. DeLauter will likely be back in the lineup against righties for as long as the Guardians are able to keep playing.

DeLauter’s major-league debut couldn’t come in a bigger spot with the Guardians facing elimination. The 23-year-old top prospect becomes just the sixth player ever to debut in the postseason. He’s talented enough from an offensive upside standpoint to provide an immediate spark for a Cleveland lineup that owns the lowest team batting average of any team in the playoffs. “He can hit -- everywhere he’s ever been, he’s hit,” said Guardians manager Stephen Vogt. “We’re looking for offense. We have been all year. And this gives us a really good opportunity to have an impact bat.”
