Jorge Soler hit a home run in his first Major League at-bat with the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.

"I was real, real happy," Soler said through coaching staff assistant Franklin Font. "My first time, my first at-bat -- very exciting. I felt real comfortable."

Soler is the second prospect in the span of a month to hit a home run in his first game. Javier Baez accomplished the feat in early August.

The shot was estimated to have traveled 423 feet.

Soler became the first Cubs player since Starlin Castro on May 7, 2010 to hit a home run in his first at-bat.

"The first at-bat was real tense," Soler said. "But when I hit a home run, I was shocked about it."
