Rhys Hoskins celebrates Game 3 NLDS home run with bat spike

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins broke out of a playoff slump in a big way during Game 3 of the National League Division Series, taking Atlanta Braves rookie pitcher Spencer Strider deep for a three-run home run in the bottom of the third inning. Hoskins was 1-for-19 this postseason before depositing a Strider fastball in the left field stands -- so perhaps that's why he spiked his bat in such a dramatic manner after hitting the 394-foot shot.
