Hitting for the cycle
In baseball, hitting for the cycle is the accomplishment of one batter hitting a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in the same game. Collecting the hits in that order is known as a "natural cycle".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hitting for the Cycle Records )〕 Cycles are rare in Major League Baseball (MLB), and have occurred only 306 times since the first by Curry Foley in 1882. The most recent example was accomplished by Matt Kemp of the San Diego Padres on August 14, 2015, against the Colorado Rockies, leaving the Miami Marlins as the only MLB franchise to have never had a player perform the feat.〔Mike Axisa, (Matt Kemp hits for first cycle in Padres' history ), CBS Sports.com, Retrieved 12-09-15.〕
Nine days earlier, just a few weeks after his Texas Rangers teammate Shin Soo Choo hit for the cycle on July 21, 2015, against the Colorado Rockies, Adrián Beltré hit for the cycle on August 3, 2015, against the Houston Astros.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brock Holt Hits for the Cycle )〕 With the cycle hit on August 3, 2015, Beltre became only the fourth ever MLB player to hit for the cycle three times, and the only baseball player to hit for the cycle three times in the same ballpark (Globe Life Park in Arlington).
The cycle is about as uncommon as a no-hitter (288 occurrences in MLB history);〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rare Feats: No-hitters )〕 it has been called "one of the rarest" and "most difficult feats" in baseball. Based on 2009 offensive levels, the probability of an average MLB player hitting for a cycle against an average team in a game is approximately 0.00590%; this corresponds to about 2.5 cycles in a 162-game season with 30 teams.
In other baseball leagues, the cycle is achieved less frequently. Through September 4, 2008, 63 players in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), the top-level baseball organization in Japan, have hit for the cycle, the most recent being Rainel Rosario. Two players have hit for the cycle on the same day once in NPB history; this has occurred twice in MLB history. One NPB player has also hit for the cycle in an NPB All-Star game. No player has ever hit for the cycle in the MLB All-Star Game or the postseason.
