Who is Chase Anderson? Former Brewers pitcher creates history by surrendering three consecutive home runs for the second time in his career

Last night, Chase Anderson set an unfortunate record that may not ever be broken. He recorded three consecutive home runs yielded on three consecutive pitches. Three straight balls that left the Colorado Rockies pitcher's hand also left the yard. This feat is something he himself accomplished back in 2020.

During that season, he was pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays. Chase Anderson threw three straight pitches to New York Yankees hitters (Brett Gardner, DJ LeMahieu and Luke Voit) and each of them left the yard.

Last night, the pitcher was taken deep by Mike Trout, Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss in a brutal effort for the Rockies. In total, Anderson was rocked for nine earned runs on 10 hits in just 2.2 innings of work as the Angels won 25-1.

Since then, he has spent time with the Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, Tampa Bay Rays, and now the Colorado Rockies. He's 35 years old and has bounced around the league.

It may seem like he can't pitch very well since he's given up home runs on three straight pitches twice now, but he has accumulated a 7.4 bWAR over his career. Even this year, he's been slightly positive with a 0.1 bWAR.
