The Arizona Diamondbacks‘ mascot, D. Baxter, is a highlight of each home game.

The bobcat is funny, teasing and plays jokes on fans. He’s also friendly, making sure everyone has a great game as he waves, poses for photos and gets in on contests.

But would you say the mascot is, dare we say it, sexy? A new ranking from sports betting company BetUS ranked the MLB mascots by hottness.

In an unexpected turn of events, the Diamondbacks’ very own D. Baxter took the top spot.

The study, which took into account personality and looks, gave Baxter a score of 85.1 out of 100. The next closest mascot was the Phillies Phanatic at 79.7; Clark the Cub came in third with a score of 76.5.

D. Baxter stood out because he “is as cute as he is sexy,” according to the study. He has 23,000 Instagram followers and an ESFP personality (a Meyers-Briggs personality type dubbed the entertainer or performer). The study also noted that his red costume was a boon to his ranking because it’s “one of the world’s most attractive colors.”

Meet D. Baxter: Why is the Arizona Diamondbacks mascot a bobcat?

How did the study determine the best-looking mascots?

BetUS analyzed all the MLB mascots “to find out who really has the it factor—the ones who make us blush and crush,” according to a news release.

The ranking was based off the mascots’ personality, job titles, golden ratio, search interest and social media following, the release stated.

Why is D. Baxter a bobcat and not a snake?

From the team’s inception in 1998 until 2005, the Diamondbacks’ stadium was known as Bank One Ballpark, commonly referred to by its nickname “The BOB.”

Baxter got his name in the summer of 2000 when the son of former second baseman Jay Bell told his dad that the team should have a “BOB” cat mascot.

The name D. Baxter, like “BOB” cat, is a play on words to represent the DBacks’ nickname.

After Bank One merged with New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co. in 2005, Chase assumed the naming rights, and the stadium’s name was changed to Chase Field. Even through the name change, Baxter remained a constant throughout the team’s home games.

Bobcats are native throughout Arizona, especially in the central and southern parts of the state.
