      Puerto Rican megastar musician Bad Bunny is no stranger to the national pastime: He's hobnobbed with the Astros, pinch-hit Vlad Guerrero and Big Papi for himself, presented Juan Soto with his 2022 Home Run Derby chain and started a sports agency where he represents various baseball players.

      But as demonstrated by the lyrics to his new blockbuster album, "Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana," his affinity for the sport might be deeper than we were aware of. Among a host of athletes mentioned over the course of the album, Bad Bunny name dropped no fewer than nine MLB stars past and present.

      Here's the rundown, in alphabetical order by last name:

      Player: Randy Arozarena
      Song: NADIE SABE
      Lyrics: Click here

      Bad Bunny's lyric read, "Yo mismo me impresiono, como Randy Arozarena," which translates to, "I impress myself, like Randy Arozarena." The Rays star took to social media to offer his gratitude.

      Player: Roberto Clemente
      Song: ACHO PR

      Bad Bunny previously brought a dancer dressed as Clemente -- the best Puerto Rican ballplayer ever -- to his performance at the 2023 Grammys.

      Player: Edwin Díaz
      Song: NADIE SABE

      We're thinking the Mets closer has a new favorite Bad Bunny song.

      Player: Bryce Harper
      Song: ACHO PR
      Lyrics: Click here

      The Phillies' franchise player demonstrated his affinity for Bad Bunny last summer (see below), and the respect is apparently mutual.

      Player: Reggie Jackson
      Song: MR. OCTOBER

      Given the name of this song, it's hardly a stunner to find Reggie in Bad Bunny's bars.

      Player: Francisco Lindor
      Song: ACHO PR

      At this point, it would be an upset if Lindor wasn't mentioned on his countryman's album. He was even in a Bad Bunny video a few years back.

      Player: Albert Pujols

      Real recognize real.

      Player: Manny Ramirez
      Song: TELEFONO NUEVO
      Lyrics: Click here

      Translated, Bad Bunny's lyric reads, "Manny Ramirez, I hit it out of the park and then catch them all in the fields." Manny was known way more for the former than the latter, but he had his moments ...

      Player: Mike Trout
      Song: THUNDER Y LIGHTNING
      Lyrics: Click here

      Bad Bunny previously big-upped Trout's teammate Shohei Ohtani, so this only seems fair.
