Bio/Historical NoteBat used by Tampa Bay Rays rookie outfielder Randy Arozarena in Game 4 of the 2020 World Series, in which he hit his second of three World Series home runs, his ninth of ten homers in 20 Postseason games overall this season. His Game 4 homer broke a tie with Nelson Cruz (2011), Carlos Beltran (2004) and Barry Bonds (2002), who all hit eight homers in a single Postseason. The Cuban-born Arozarena, who calls Mexico home, became just the second rookie in MLB history to hit three home runs in a single World Series, joining Charlie Keller in 1939, and was the first rookie to tally at least one RBI in four straight Fall Classic games since RBI became an official statistic in 1920. Arozarena went on to score the walk-off winning run in Game 4 in a play that involved two Dodgers errors. He now holds the MLB records for most hits (29) and total bases (64) in a single Postseason.
