Cycle in first four innings.

My young center fielder finished the cycle in the fourth inning. I wonder how many times that's been done in real life.

He added a triple and a walk later in the game for good measure.

Apparently it's happened once:

On June 18, 2000, Rockies’ second baseman Mike Lansing set an MLB record by completing a cycle in just four innings. As the Rockies topped the Diamondbacks 19-2, Lansing – hitting second in the order – hit an RBI triple to right in the first inning, added a two-run home run in the bottom of the second, hit a two-run double in the bottom of the third (the Rockies scored nine times in the inning to take a 14-1 lead), and then completed the cycle with a single to right in the fourth. Lansing then struck out in the sixth, before being pinch hit for in the eighth. The Rockies won the contest 19-2.

Four for five, ten total bases and hit for the cycle, but you struck out last time so I'm taking you out of the game before you screw it up for us.

I thought the same thing. I wonder how many other hitters have been pinch hit for in the same game they got the cycle.

I guess his manager thought he swung at a bad pitch in the 6th.
