The Most Electric Thing in Sports Right Now is Mets Closer Edwin Diaz Entering a Game

1. To say Mets closer Edwin Díaz is having a dominant season would be an understatement. Díaz has 26 saves, a 1.39 ERA and has struck out 91 batters in just 45.1 innings pitched. The Mets are 61–0 when leading after eight innings this season in large part due to Díaz.

More impressive, though, than Díaz’s performance on the field is his entrance from the bullpen to the mound.

Díaz’s sprint across Citi Field while “Narco” by Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet plays has been a smash hit with Mets fans all season, but it has gotten massive attention over the past 24 hours or so after SNY, the local station that airs New York’s games, filmed (and posted) a cinematic-like production of the All-Star’s entrance.
