The natural talent that Luis Arráez has to put the ball in play never ceases to amaze. This Monday, in just his 67th game, the Venezuelan became the first player to complete 100 hits in the 2023 campaign.
In the 11-0 beating of the Blue Jays by the Marlins, “la regadera” had hits in his first three plate appearances, all once morest starter José Berríos, thus completing his first hundred of the year.

Luis Arraéz beat Bo Bichette who, with six games more than the Venezuelan, reached the same commitment with 98 hits. But in his first three chances he might only get one hit.
In his next two at-bats, first once morest Trent Thornton and then once morest Mitch White, the Venezuelan put the ball back in play for his third game of five hits so far in June. The last to achieve something similar was Dave Winfield in 1984.
for the 200
The man from San Felipe has achieved more than 100 hits in four of his five seasons, but has never exceeded the 200 barrier. Everything seems to be working for him to reach that figure in this contest.
Until now, the greatest number of hits achieved by the native is 173 last year when he also won the batting champion (.316) with the Twins
