7 ridiculous Luis Arraez stats now that he’s hitting .400 (!!!)

If you weren’t paying attention to Miami Marlins hitter Luis Arraez before — like I told you to — it’s time.

After a 5-for-5 performance in a win over the Toronto Blue Jays — HIS THIRD 5-FOR-5 THIS MONTH AAAAAAAA! — he’s now hitting .400. And we’re 10 days away from the end of June. Seriously, this is wild.

And after that immaculate hitting on Monday, the stats about his wild season were everywhere. So we decided to round them up to show you just how amazing Arraez is this season.

Even if he doesn’t hit .400 (or… above?) by the time September rolls around, take a moment to drink this all in:

Look at this Tony Gwynn fact

Through their respective first 67 games played:

1994 Tony Gwynn: .386 AVG, 98 hits

2023 Luis Arraez: .400 AVG, 102 hits

Gwynn’s 1994 was the last time it felt like someone could actually pull off a .400 season.

Oops, Twins
