New hemisphere, same EPIC Adeiny bat flip

Adeiny Hechavarría didn't play in the Majors in 2021, but that hasn't prevented him from hitting mammoth home runs elsewhere and gifting us some commensurate bat flips as a cherry on top.

He did just that for Nippon Professional Baseball's Chiba Lotte Marines on Saturday, blasting a shot into the upper deck against Rakuten at Zozo Marine Stadium. His bat flip got some real hangtime -- about two full seconds worth -- and was a delightful touch of flourish to punctuate the massive homer.

Hechavarría spent nine seasons in the Majors as an infielder for the Blue Jays, Marlins, Rays, Pirates, Yankees, Braves and Mets from 2012-20. We knew he was a bat-flip connoisseur after seeing his past work, and we're glad he's still adding to his already impressive highlight reel.
