Matt Eddy @matteddyba.bsky.social · 24/07/2026He did it! Rockies 19-year-old center fielder Cristian Arguelles hit .400 in the Arizona Complex League That makes him the youngest player we could find to hit that well for that long in a domestic Rookie league But there's even more to his story 👇 www.baseballamerica.com/stories/rock...baseballamerica.comRockies’ Cristian Arguelles Tops .400 In ACL, Setting New Standard For Teenagers In Rookie BallMany players before Cristian Arguelles have hit .400 in a domestic Rookie-level league, but none have hit as well and for as long as he did in the Arizona Complex League this year. 081
Matt Eddy @matteddyba.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The Keith Hernandez bunt play that Mark writes about is in heavy rotation on SNY 😆 It is truly impressive but also highlights the downside of reflexive sac bunting by pitchers Pitchers may be better at laying one down than the average position player, but their run times to first are MUCH worse 000
Matt Eddy @matteddyba.bsky.social · 23/07/2026My favorite Cristian Arguelles fun fact If he maintains his .400 average in the ACL, it will actually be his second .400 season in a row! He hit .422 in 52 games in the Dominican Summer League in 2025 Fun query: How many .400 hitters in multiple MiLB seasons of 50 G / 200 PA? 000
Matt Eddy @matteddyba.bsky.social · 23/07/2026That's what makes Cristian Arguelles' pursuit of .400 so impressive. He has played a complete season as a 19-year-old in his first year in the U.S. And while the ACL hitting conditions are favorable—thin air, fast surfaces, shaky pitching—nobody hits .400 over three months! 100
Matt Eddy @matteddyba.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Has a qualified hitter ever batted .400 in the ACL/Arizona League before? Yes, but only in small samples CJ Abrams hit .401 in 32 games after the Padres drafted him out of high school A 22-year-old Nick DelGuidice hit .408 in 34 games in 2011 100
