LG Twins foreign hitter Austin Dean has achieved the 33rd "hitting for the cycle" in the history of professional baseball.

Starting as the cleanup-equivalent number three batter and first baseman in a home game against the NC Dinos at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, Austin hit a double in the fourth inning, a single to right field in the sixth, and a three-run home run over the left-field wall in the eighth.

Later in the bottom of the 10th inning with his team trailing 4-3, he came up as the leadoff batter and roared after hitting a triple that struck directly against the center-field fence.

Achieving a cycling hit—recording a single, double, triple, and home run all in a single game—is a rare feat, marking the first of this year and only the 33rd in league history.
