Jacob Stallings is an American professional baseball catcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2016. In 2021, Stallings won the Gold Glove Award and Fielding Bible Award. After the 2021 season, the Pirates traded Stallings to Miami.
In the eighth inning of the game that took place on August 8, 2018, while he was playing for the Indianapolis Indians of the International League, he hit his first triple since 2015 to finish off a cycle.
It was a rare occurrence of two teammates accomplishing the feat in the same game, as it occurred only three batters after Kevin Newman, a member of the same club, had completed his own cycle with a home run.
Because of the performance of the two, the Indians prevailed over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs by a score of 12-5. On July 17, 2021, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, he hit a walk-off grand slam against Edwin Diaz, which resulted in a victory for the Pirates by a score of 9-7.
An incredible comeback victory was achieved by the Pirates, who scored all of their runs in the final two innings of the game. He took a swing of .236 with eight home runs and 53 RBIs while serving as the primary catcher for the Pirates throughout the season.
