Jefry Yan leapt high in the air with his feet spread apart, landed on the front of the mound, and slapped the grass with his left hand after striking out the first batter of his major‑league debut. The 29‑year‑old left‑hander celebrated the 0:24 moment during the Mets’ 6‑5 win over Cleveland. Yan’s viral jump followed pinch‑hitter Angel Martínez taking an 88.7 mph slider for a called third strike.

After the strikeout, the Guardians loaded the bases on two singles and a walk, but Yan escaped the jam without giving up a run on his second strikeout and an inning‑ending grounder. He bounded off the mound, slapped his glove several times, and headed to the dugout as Cleveland fans booed, with the Mets ahead 4‑3. The celebration echoed a similar jump Yan made in a Mets spring‑training game earlier this year.

The moment captured the excitement of a rookie’s debut and the exuberance of pitching in the majors.
