The New York Mets have called up pitcher Jefry Yan, known for his energetic strikeout celebrations. Yan, a 29-year-old left-handed pitcher, was selected by the Mets on July 2 and was promoted hours after the MLB trade deadline on August 3.
Impressive Numbers
Yan has put up impressive numbers at both the AA and AAA levels in 2026. In 26.2 innings with AA Binghamton, he posted a 3.71 ERA and struck out 45 batters. After being promoted to AAA Syracuse, he owns a 2-1 record with a 2.40 ERA, giving up just six hits and striking out 32 in 15.0 innings.
Yan’s antics on the mound, including jumping into the air, doing the splits, and screaming at the top of his lungs, have drawn attention to the pitcher. Despite the Mets’ dismal season, Yan’s potential debut in the major leagues may be a highlight for fans to look forward to.
