After back-to-back 100 loss seasons and experts saying another one is on the way, the Colorado Rockies need a little spark… Maybe they’ve found it in a new pitcher!

Jefry Yan pitched a scoreless inning for the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday (Feb. 25) in their 14-3 Spring Training win over the Chicago White Sox but it’s not the actual pitching that has people talking, it’s what the left-hander does after.

The 28-year-old Dominican jumped for joy, shot down into the splits and forcibly threw his fists into the air after each batter while striking out the side.

Yan also showcased this excitement while playing in the Dominican Winter League the past few months.

Here are a couple of examples of the celebrations that the internet loved…
