Randy Arozarena continues to be the king of celebrations.

The Tampa Bay Rays outfielder made waves on Sunday for the creative way that he trotted out a home run against the Detroit Tigers. On the play, Arozarena tagged Tigers starter Joey Wentz for a solo shot in the fourth inning to put his team up by a 1-0 score.

While rounding the bases, the outfielder abruptly stopped his trot and crossed his arms before touching third. Take a look.

Randy left no doubt!

To add even more flavor (literally) to his moment in the sun, Arozarena was later spotted enjoying a stroopwafel cookie in the dugout.

Randy Arozarena celebrating a home run with a stroopwafel is the best thing I’ve seen today.

(Second-best is Jeffrey Springs. He’s thrown five shutout innings with 10 strikeouts and the only blemish on his line so far is a walk. He’s going to have a very, very big year.) pic.twitter.com/JBygRYwo39

It was the first home run of the season for the former AL Rookie of the Year. The Rays ultimately won the game 5-1 to improve to a perfect 3-0 on the young season.

We recently saw a similar vibe from Arozarena. While playing for Mexico during the World Baseball Classic semifinal matchup with Japan, Arozarena made a spectacular catch and hit that same pose.
