Andy Lugo sure can bat flip.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, the Boston Red Sox prospect was at bat for the High-A Greenville Drive in the bottom of the 12th inning against the Winston-Salem Dash. With the game tied 9-9 and the bases loaded, Lugo smoked a 1-0 pitch from Jake Peppers and blasted it into the right-center field gap to secure a walk-off win. Then he celebrated. And it was epic.<\/p>\n

After hammering Peppers\u2019s offering, Lugo launched his bat into the air and, on video, I genuinely didn\u2019t think it was ever going to come down. It went so high it actually went out of view from the camera at the top of the stadium.<\/p>\n

Video is below.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just absurd. And I kind of love it.<\/p>\n

Lugo is a 21-year-old third baseman out of the Dominican Republic. Through 12 games this season, he\u2019s slashing .273\/.313\/.455 with on home run, five RBIs and one of the best bat flips you\u2019ll ever see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
