The Seattle Mariners ' first baseman is definitely feeling good right now. All you have to do is look at the three-run home run he crushed against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. First, he found a way to somehow hit it like a fadeaway jumper, almost backing up as he pulled the ball way out of the ballpark to right field.
And then he tossed an incredibly swagged-up bat flip into the air. Yeah, Naylor liked this one: Ms broadcast missed it so here’s the Naylor bat flip pic. twitter.
