Julian Hall, an 18-year-old forward for Red Bull New York, made history on May 13 by becoming the youngest player to score a hat trick in Major League Soccer (MLS) during a match against the Columbus Crew, which ended in a 3-2 victory for his team. Hall achieved this milestone at 18 years and 50 days, breaking the previous record held by Ricardo Pepi, who scored his hat trick at 18 years and 195 days in 2021. Hall's impressive performance is part of a breakout season, where he has scored nine goals in 13 matches played in 2025. He debuted in the MLS on September 30, 2023, at 15 years and 190 days, making him the youngest debutant in Red Bull New York's history. Under the guidance of first-year coach Michael Bradley, Hall is part of a promising young team that also includes 16-year-old Adri Mehmeti and 17-year-old Matthew Dos Santos. Hall is eligible to represent either the U.S. or Poland at the international level but has yet to make an appearance for the senior national teams.
