Hitting a single, double, triple, and a home run in one game of baseball
For the Major League Baseball players who have completed this feat, see List of Major League Baseball players to hit for the cycle.
In baseball, hitting for the cycle is the accomplishment of one batter who hits a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in the same game. Collecting the hits in that order is known as a "natural cycle".[1] Cycles are rare in Major League Baseball (MLB), having occurred only 344 times, starting with Curry Foley in 1882.[2][3] The most recent cycle in MLB was accomplished by José Altuve of the Houston Astros on August 28, 2023.
