Jack Howell - Astros
No, he hit a walk off home run in his first major league game but it was not his first at-bat.
The likelihood of a broken bat home run occurring in a baseball game is very low, as it requires a combination of factors such as the strength of the hitter, the speed of the pitch, and the angle at which the ball is hit with a broken bat. It is a rare and unpredictable event in the game of baseball.

Eric Young, in the first ever at bat by a Rockie at the stadium.
Not in MLB ... although he did hit his first MLB home run in his 3rd ever at bat ... it was a grand slam.
That was Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm who hit a home run in his first ever MLB at bat on April 23, 1952. That was the only home run he hit during his career.
That was Bill Duggleby of the Philadelphia Philles who hit a home run in his first at bat on April 21, 1898. That home run was a grand slam and he was also the first batter in MLB history to hit a grand slam home run in his first at bat. Duggleby had an 8 year career, ending up with a 93-102 record and a 3.18 ERA. He hit 6 home runs in his career and wound up with a .165 career batting average.
