Randy Arozarena and the flying helmet

Related Topics: Randy Arozarena, Fabian Ardaya

Many players have their trademarks. Derek Jeter had his jump throw from shortstop, Fernando Rodney had his shooting the arrow every time he recorded a save. Randy Arozarena’s signature move? His batting helmet flying off as he motors around the base paths.

Whether it be a steal attempt, an aggressive baserunning decision following a hit, or even occasionally a home run, the outfielder just can’t keep his helmet on top of his head.

FanGraphs does not have a “helmet flying off” stat, so we have to rely on the eye test to conclude that Arozarena seems to lose his batting helmet more than the average player.
