Houston Astros infielder Luis Valbuena is one of the most prolific and professional bat flippers in the game. Home run? Bat flip. RBI single? Bat flip. Ground out to short? Bat flip.
And now: two-out, bases empty walk in Spring Training? Bat flip:

Backwards, casual, good rotation, good distance, smooth turn and trot to first. That’s at least an 8 out of 10.
Brewers righty Matt Garza might not have loved that one, but, as David Ortiz would say, if you don’t want Valbuena to flip on you, then you should … well … actually, Luis is probably gonna bat flip on you no matter what you do.
