Rangers' Marcus Semien Crushes a Home Run Off First Pitch vs. A's

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien started off Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics with a bang.

The first pitch thrown to Semien by A's pitcher Ross Stripling was a 91-mph fastball. Semien crushed the ball 401 feet to start the game, a home run off of the first pitch. It's always exciting in baseball when this somewhat rare feat happens.

There were audible cheers from the audience as Semien rounded the bases even though the game was being played in Oakland. It must've been exciting for both sides of fans.
