text: It is a hitting cycle, not pitching cycle.\n\nIn baseball, a player hits for the cycle when he hits a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game, though not necessarily in that order. Collecting the hits in that order is known as a "natural cycle".\n\nThe feat is rare in Major League Baseball as it requires a game of no fewer than four hits, and the unusual combination of a home run, which requires a batter to hit for some power, and a triple, which requires a batter to have some speed on the basepaths. Thus, "hitting for the cycle" demonstrates excellence in three of the five "tools" of baseball (see five-tool player). The accomplishment is held in high enough esteem that players needing only a single to "complete the cycle" have been known to "hold up" at first base on balls hit in the alley. There are only 3 teams to never hit the cycle – the San Diego Padres, Florida Marlins and Tampa Bay Devil Rays.\n\nThe last person who hit the cycle:\nJune 21, 2006 José Reyes New York (NL)
