Luis Arraez is having another steady season with the San Francisco Giants. As of Tuesday, the 29 year old second baseman is batting .321 and tops all Venezuelan players in the majors with 71 hits.
Arraez keeps putting the ball in play and is staying in the mix for the National League batting title. He has shown the same contact hitting style that earned him three batting crowns earlier in his career.
The Giants signed him to a one-year deal before the season, and he has delivered at the plate while improving his defense at second base. He has appeared in most of the team’s games and ranks among the league leaders in several hitting categories for Venezuelan players.
Arraez has not commented on his numbers lately, but his consistent approach has drawn notice from fans and analysts tracking the early standings. The Giants are counting on him to keep producing as the season heads into June.
