Batter made 2nd and 3rd out of the inning, has that happened before?

Jake Bauers in last night’s World Series game made 2nd out of the inning (fly out) and also 3rd out (fly out) in same (5th) inning. I don’t recall ever seeing that in my past 45 years of watching MLB games. I’m curious if it’s been done before? I’ve seen hitters make first and last out previously.

George Kell came up three times in the seventh inning of a game on June 18, 1953, and he hit one double and made two outs. No batter has ever made all three outs in the same inning.

In this 1989 Reds-Astros game, BOTH Mariano Duncan AND Luis Quinones came up three times in the same inning. In a weird bit itself, both got on base safely their first and second appearances, then, with the Reds having already plated 14 runs and just one out, they made the last two outs of the inning back to back.

Dammit, Bauers! The team is carrying you!

I used to play goalie, and onetime I was facing a 5 on 3, and both penalties were on me. That’s close, no?

Teh Google, without game, says Jason Varitek did it, and I found it. There has to be a few others. You'd have to dive deep in B-Ref's indexes.
To be technical, this was first and third outs, not second and third, but it was two outs at the plate, no hitting into a double play.
And, it's "nice" to see multiple clueless commenters.

Lots of batters have hit into inning ending double plays /literal

No, he was both outs by himself. In separate at bats.

Irrelevant to the question asked.

It always happens with inning ending double plays
11. u/pyth33 · 2026-10-27 20:01 UTC
That's obviously not what OP is talking about
12. u/Unfair_Importance_37 · 2026-10-27 20:04 UTC
OP needs to communicate better
13. u/jt_baumann · 2026-10-27 20:09 UTC
It’s pretty obvious to anyone with a brain
14. u/biffsalmon · 2026-10-27 20:10 UTC
No, bozo, you just need to comprehend better, like everyone else who easily understood what OP was saying.
15. u/Unfair_Importance_37 · 2026-10-27 20:35 UTC
I was joking dumb dumb, but there was also multiple saying what I was saying, so not everyone else like u said

You weren’t joking and you’re a bad communicator on top of that.

Perhaps you need to read more than just the title before replying.
19. u/joconnell13 · 2026-10-27 20:19 UTC
What does that say about your reading comprehension?

I think the rest of us figured it out just fine
