Turns out that lefty is part of the New York Mets<\/a>‘ organization. His name is Jefry Yan, and he’s awesome.<\/p>\n

He didn’t keep those celebrations limited to winter ball, either.<\/p>\n

Yan is pitching for the Mets this spring, and on three strikeouts on Tuesday, Yan hopped all over the place:<\/p>\n

That obviously isn’t something from a bygone era. That’s very modern baseball, to its fullest extent.<\/p>\n

Yan is having fun, and while the batters he’s striking out might not like it, they ought to not strike out the next time.<\/p>\n

The 29-year old southpaw isn’t a prospect by any means, although he also hasn’t reached the major leagues.<\/p>\n

He had a 7.28 ERA with Triple-A Albuquerque last season, and had struggled in his one prior Triple-A stint, too.<\/p>\n

For Yan to make it to the majors, he’s gonna have to do more than celebrate well.<\/p>\n
