About Robin Yount, Hall of Famer

Robin Yount, nicknamed 'the Kid,' spent his entire 20-year career with the Milwaukee Brewers from 1974 to 1993, playing shortstop and center fielder after being drafted third overall in 1973. He made his major league debut at just 18 years old and went on to win two American League MVP Awards. In 1982, Yount led the Brewers to their first World Series appearance, batting .414 in the series and hitting multiple home runs. He collected his 3,000th hit in 1992, becoming the third-youngest player to reach that milestone. Yount was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999 on his first ballot and has since worked as a coach for multiple organizations.

Did you know? Yount is the last 18-year-old to hit a home run in Major League Baseball, as all other teenagers who have since done so—including Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, and Juan Soto—were 19 years old when they accomplished the feat.
