## Resource

Luis Arraez, once dismissed as just a contact hitter without power, is having his best season yet—hitting .326 with just 13 strikeouts and a career-high seven triples—while proving to be one of baseball’s top defensive second basemen. Signed by the Giants for $12 million last winter after being overlooked by other teams, Arraez credits his breakout to relentless work ethic and the coaching of Ron Washington, who helped unlock his full potential. Despite the Giants’ playoff hopes fading, Arraez remains focused on his performance, hoping for an All-Star nod and a chance to keep playing his game.
