List of Major League Baseball players to hit for the cycle information
This article is about Major League Baseball players who have hit for the cycle. For information on the accomplishment proper, see hitting for the cycle.
In baseball, completing the cycle is the accomplishment of hitting a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in the same game.[1] In terms of frequency, the cycle is roughly as common as a no-hitter;[2][3]Baseball Digest calls it "one of the rarest feats in baseball".[4] Collecting the hits in the listed order is known as a "natural cycle".
The cycle itself is semi-rare in Major League Baseball (MLB), having occurred a total of 344 times, starting with Curry Foley in 1882,[5] through José Altuve on August 28, 2023. A natural cycle has been completed 14 times in modern MLB history, most recently by Gary Matthews Jr. of the Texas Rangers in 2006.[6]
