Baxter, the mascot of the Arizona Diamondbacks, is as cute as he is sexy. His origin story is just as charming—created after Brantley Bell, son of former second baseman Jay Bell, suggested the team should have a "BOB" cat as a mascot, inspired by their home at the BOB (Bank One Ballpark).
Baxter is not only a crowd favorite with his ESFP personality, but he also has 23,000 followers on Instagram. His looks are as hot as his personality, donning red—one of the world’s most attractive colors.
Beyond Baxter, the Phillie Phanatic and Clark the Cub are turning heads with their irresistible charm and personalities. The Phillie Phanatic ranks as the second hottest mascot in the MLB, with a fun and energetic ENFP personality and over 200,000 Instagram followers backing him. Clark the Cub, the beloved mascot of the Chicago Cubs, isn’t far behind. Hailing from Chicago, he’s the third hottest mascot, with 50,000 Instagram followers and an adventurous spirit that’s undeniably sexy.
