Football has touchdown dances. Basketball has sneaky heists after the dunk. Football players slide on the grass, and their teammates pile on top of them.
Baseball? Baseball has a bat flip.
Long considered something of a faux pas in the game, the bat flip is having a moment as baseball focuses more on entertainment. It’s practically an art form in South Korea, where players pride themselves on their individual bat moves, and the World Baseball Classic gives these players – and those from other countries who are having a good time – a chance to shine. things.
Here are some of the best bat flips we’ve seen from the 2023 tournament.
