When Luis Arraez leads off for the San Diego Padres in Tuesday’s postseason opener at Petco Park, he will do so as a three-time batting champion. He will also enter the left-handed batter’s box as a walking contradiction.

Luis Arraez continues to prove he's the best contact hitter in the league. The Padres leadoff man won his third consecutive batting title.

Luis Arraez held off Shohei Ohtani’s bid to win the National League Triple Crown and became the first player since the 1800s to earn batting titles with three teams.
