Adeiny Hechavarria’s exploits on Wednesday night left even his teammates reaching for the superlatives.
The Atlanta Braves infielder launched a massive two-run homer in the second inning of a 5-0 win over the Miami Marlins and topped it off with one of the smoothest bat flips you will ever see. Take a look:

After the game, Braves star Ronald Acuna had high praise for his teammate.
“Honestly I think that’s the best bat flip I’ve ever seen,” said Acuna, per David O’Brien of The Athletic.
The homer was Hechavarria’s first for the Braves and just his sixth of the season. Couple that with the fact that he has only hit 34 of them in his eight-year career, and it’s obvious that he made his moment on Wednesday count.
As for the bat flip, Hechavarria may have competition for the best one ever.
