Beltré is also known for his dislike of anyone touching the top of his head, which teammates have done frequently, especially Elvis Andrus, but it was a tendency discovered by former teammate, Felix Hernandez. Before the game where he recorded his 3,000th hit, he let his teammates touch his head. Much to his dismay, the act has turned into a game, inducing repeat offenders such as his infield partner Andrus. Beltré also dislikes Gatorade showers. After a game in which he hit a grand slam that provided the decisive runs in a 5–2 win over the Athletics on August 15, 2016, he took a broom from the groundskeepers closet and began combing an area of infield dirt. Still, Rougned Odor trotted to Beltré carrying a bucket filled with Gatorade, and in his attempt to drench Beltré, missed him with the launch of the column of the liquid.
