Arizona Diamondbacks mascot Baxter the Bobcat has been crowned the sexiest mascot in the MLB in what we can only assume is a highly scientific new analysis by BetUS.

How it works: The sports betting company rated mascots by personality, color attractiveness, social media followings and other admittedly subjective categories.

Baxter came out on top for being extroverted, his strong Instagram following and red jersey (the most attractive color, per the company).

💭 Our thought bubble: After a review of Baxter's glamour shots, we see why he earned this title.
