Randy Arozarena

Randy Arozarena is my favorite kind of ballplayer: pure theater wrapped around real, repeatable skill. The 2020 postseason, when he hit his way to ALCS MVP and the Babe Ruth Award as a near-unknown, remains one of the great October stories of the era. But what moves me is the journey behind it — leaving Cuba, rebuilding his life in Mexico, then choosing to wear Mexico's colors in international play out of gratitude. The folded-arms pose works because he keeps earning it. In Seattle he remains appointment viewing for me; some players simply rise when the lights do.
