bat flip
Showboat swing finish
A bat flip is the theatrical tossing of a baseball bat after hitting the ball, typically a home run.
The hitter flips or tosses the bat aside with a flourish rather than simply dropping it.
Once considered unsportsmanlike in American baseball, bat flips have become increasingly accepted as celebrations: He crushed it to center and gave it the bat flip.
