About Luis Arráez
Luis Sangel Arráez (born April 9, 1997) is a Venezuelan professional baseball infielder for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Minnesota Twins, Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres, and San Francisco Giants. Arráez represents the Venezuelan national team in international competitions. He is nicknamed "La Regadera" (Spanish for "The Sprinkler"). Arráez signed with the Twins as an international free agent in 2013 and made his MLB debut with them in 2019. He is a four-time All-Star and a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner. He became the first Marlins player to hit for the cycle in 2023. Known for his ability to put the ball in play and not striking out, Arráez is considered one of the best contact hitters of his generation. From 2022 to 2024, Arráez became the first player in MLB history to win three consecutive batting titles with three different teams. In doing so, he spoiled two Triple Crown pursuits (Aaron Judge in 2022 and Shohei Ohtani in 2024). He was also the second player in the modern era to win a batting title in each league and the first to do so in consecutive years. On May 17, 2019, the Twins called Arráez up to the major leagues for the first time.
