Luis Arajes (26-Miami Marlins)토스카지노 is on pace for a four-hit game this season.

Arajes started at first base and batted second against Baltimore at Camden Yards in Maryland, USA, on 16 June, going 4-for-5 with a home run and an RBI. The team lost 5-6, but his first four hits of the second half boosted his batting average from .380 to .386 (130-for-337). The Baltimore game was the sixth time this season that Arajes had four or more hits in a game.

Araúez hadn’t hit safely in a game since 25 May against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was the team’s 78th game of the season. But after going 1-for-4 on the 26th, his on-base percentage collapsed and he hasn’t recovered since. The game against Baltimore on the 16th was Miami’s 94th game of the season. The last 4-for-4 hitter in Major League Baseball (MLB) history, Ted Williams in 1941, batted .406 in his 94th game that year.

Since then, a number of hitters have attempted to hit .408, but all have fallen short. In 1997, Larry Walker (then of the Colorado Rockies) came close, hitting .406 in his 94th game, according to MLB.com, the official website of MLB. The last player to maintain a .406 batting average after Williams was George Brett of the Kansas City Royals in 1980 for 134 games.

Despite a slow start to the season, Arrieta has been steadily accumulating hits. In his last seven games, he’s batting .370 (10-for-27). He’s keeping that elusive .400 batting average alive.

The Venezuelan native made his big league debut with the Minnesota Twins in 2019. In his first season, he batted .334 (109-for-326) and showed off his ability to make solid contact. In his fourth year, last year, he batted .316 (173-for-547) in 144 games, leading the American League (AL) in batting. He arrived in Miami in January in a trade that included starting pitcher Pablo Lopez and has been the team’s leadoff man. His career batting average is .328 (1750-for-574) with 17 home runs and 175 RBIs.
