Arrรกez Eyes Career-Best Hitting Streak, League Lead in Final Series
SANโข DIEGO – Luis arrรกez enters a crucial weekendโข series against the Arizona Diamondbacks atโ Petco park with a chance to secure both the National League batting โtitle and tie his personal bestโข hitting streak. The Venezuelan infielder has connected for a hit in 13 consecutive games, approachingโ aโ career-high mark he’sโ reached three times previously.
Arrรกez’s currentโฃ streak trails his 14-game run โspanning the end of the 2022 season with the โMinnesota Twins and โthe beginning โof 2023 with the Miami Marlins, and also another 14-game streak in September 2024 while โwith the Padres. His longest streak came earlier thisโ year, from July 18 to August 3, when he recorded hits โinโ 16 straight games. โฃ Adding hits in all three gamesโ against the Diamondbacks would tie that record. The batting title race remains tight, with Nicoโ Hoerner also inโข contention.
Arrรกez boasts a .145 average in 45 โat-bats against Arizona this season, but performs exceptionally well at home, maintaining aโ .307 average at Petco Park. โ He currently leadsโฃ the league with 175 hits, surpassing Aaron Judge (175) and closely โขpursued by Bo โคBichetteโฃ (181) and Bobby Witt โjr. (180) inโ the american League. Jackson Chourio holds the longest hitting streak among Venezuelans in 2025,with 20 consecutive games with a hit in July.
