Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Jefry Yan’s MLB debut was a one-man dance party, complete with a 101.1 mph fastball and a choreographed celebration. He brought his entire package to the game, including a jump, glove slap, and kiss toward the sky. Yan’s path to the majors was not easy, including Tommy John surgery and a stint as a roofer.
His performance was more than just a novelty act, with five pitches over 100 mph and a strong argument for keeping him around. Yan’s attitude is the correct one: “I’m in my zone, and I’m going to enjoy my game.”
The celebration is great, but the fastball is very real.
