MINNEAPOLIS — Luis Arraez stood watching as the ball he just barreled soared toward the Target Field plaza. After it bounced on the concrete and fans swarmed to scoop it up, Arraez started his skip to first base.
But not before he stared straight into the Twins dugout while flipping his bat a good 10 feet into the air. And once he had finished rounding the bases and high fiving all his teammates, he blew a kiss to the camera.
The 25-year-old's first career grand slam couldn't have come at a more appropriate time, since Arraez is literally the best hitter in baseball at the moment, leading the league with his .369 batting average and .451 on-base percentage.
