VIDEO: Mets' d'Arnaud provides emphatic unintentional bat flip following walk

When you walk as infrequently as Travis d'Arnaud does, every free pass is a cause for celebration.

The New York Mets catcher drew an eight-pitch, bases-loaded walk from Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Jeanmar Gomez on Tuesday and provided an exceptional bat flip before making his way to first base.

Judging by d'Arnaud's reaction, the gesture was completely accidental, but equally fantastic.

It was just the 12th walk of the season for the 26-year-old in 152 plate appearances.
