Jazz Chisholm’s Home Run Celebration Will Leave Baseball Purists Fuming

Marlins star Jazz Chisholm Jr. was locked in at the plate Tuesday against the Giants, and he had a little bit of fun celebrating in front of the home crowd in Miami.

The 25-year-old launched a mammoth three-run home run off San Francisco’s reliever Jakob Junis, who was on the mound in the fourth inning in relief of the injured Alex Wood.

Baseball purists and those opposed to pimping home runs may want to look away, because Chisholm went all out with his trot around the bases. 

The center fielder took a fake jump shot when rounding first base before proceeding to do a stutter-step while rounding second. In between second and third base, Chisholm made what appeared to be a camera sign with his hands, before waving to the fans as he rounded third. Finally, upon arriving at home plate, Chisholm did his patented Euro-step.

In all, it took the Marlins star about 35 seconds to round the bases after his home run trot, and as evidenced by the video, he was in absolutely no rush while celebrating his third round-tripper of the year. 

His home run gave Miami a 4–2 lead in the fourth inning, and he made sure to soak up every last second of the moment.
