Luis Arraez says it's a 'blessing' to play in front of Phillies fans
The new Phillies second baseman appears to love playing for Philadelphia.
Luis Arraez expressed his gratitude to Phillies fans for their support, calling it a blessing to play in front of them. Arraez, acquired by the Phillies at the 2026 MLB trade deadline from the San Francisco Giants, has been making an impact with the team. In the Phillies' 4-1 win over the Miami Marlins, Arraez hit a two-run homer, his second as a Phillie.
Despite a rough patch early on, Arraez has been playing great, hitting a .288 batting average with a .744 OPS in his 15 games with the Phillies. His performance has been particularly strong in the Phillies' six-game win streak, where he is hitting .423 with a 1.021 OPS, including five RBIs and one home run. Phillies fans certainly appreciate Arraez's sentiment, as he seems to genuinely enjoy playing for them.
