In one of the most explosive games of recent times, the World Baseball Classic match-up between Japan and Mexico fought it out for a place in the final.

Of the Mexican roster, one of the standout names has been Randy Arozarena who, with his strong performances, has captured the hearts of the fans and become a key player in the side. Arozarena is also taking the headlines for what is quickly becoming his signature pose after games, standing towards the camera with his arms crossed across his chest.
