Liam Plunkett took the mound on June 26, 2026.
The veteran England fast bowler tried his hand at minor‑league baseball in the United States.
He had spent several weeks practicing with the club before the game.
Coaches said his height and arm speed made the switch easier.
In his debut he struck out a batter on the second pitch of his first at‑bat.
The strikeout was his sole recorded out that night.
The move is a uncommon cross‑sport shift after he ended his international cricket career.
