Luis Arráez apparently isn’t satisfied with his roaring start to the 2023 season.
The Marlins infielder notched two singles in four at-bats against the Royals on Tuesday night to raise his batting average to .401. This is the latest in a season that a major league has batted above .400 since Atlanta’s Chipper Jones hit .421 through his team’s first 62 games in 2008, per ESPN Stats & Info.
Arráez also recorded an RBI on Tuesday to help Miami defeat Kansas City, 6–1, at loanDepot Park. The Marlins standout is now slashing .401/.451/.495.

When Cincinnati manager David Bell filled out the lineup card and slotted the 21-year-old third baseman into the No. 4 spot, De La Cruz became the fifth-youngest player in the past 100 years to make his MLB debut in the cleanup spot, per MLB.com’s Sarah Langs.
