ARLINGTON, Texas — You’ve seen this before. The pounding of the chest. The flipping of the bat. The tugging of the jersey. And the final stomps toward home.
That’s because of two things: Adolis García has both flair and a flair for the dramatic.
On Saturday, he did his dance again, destroying a two-strike slider to give the Rangers a 3-2 walk-off win over Washington. According to Statcast, the ball left the bat at approximately the speed of sound and traveled seven miles. OK, we’re exaggerating: 108 mph off the bat, 449 feet into space.
