If you like a good bat flip, you're in luck.

San Francisco Giants prospect Marco Luciano delivered an epic bat flip after smashing a three-run homer on Tuesday. After watching his titanic blast leave the park, Luciano threw his bat nearly as high as the ball he'd just sent into orbit.

Marco Luciano Home Run

Luciano was extra fired up because his long ball broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the sixth inning, propelling the Eugene Emeralds to a 6-5 win over the Vancouver Canadiens. The win gave Eugene a 2-0 series lead in the best-of-five Northwest League finals in High-A ball.

The 21-year-old shortstop from the Dominican Republic has shown good power in his minor-league career thus far, clubbing 40 homers and 42 doubles with a .491 slugging percentage across 218 games. He's also hit for a solid average (.271) and has displayed strong on-base skills (.363 OBP), although his 24.3% strikeout rate could use some work.

While Luciano is still likely a couple of years away from reaching the big leagues, Giants fans hope he has plenty more bat flips in his future.
