Joe Kelly Continuing to Make Himself Dodgers Legend With Latest Viral Video
Joe Kelly has made himself an icon among the Dodgers community.
Whether it was his heated exchange with Carlos Correa, the mariachi jacket he wore at the White House or his many other memorable moments in Los Angeles, he's always finding ways to grow as a fan favorite among the L.A. fan base.
This week, as a part of the Dodgers Community Tour, he continued to grow that status.
Not only did Kelly show off the new Porsche gifted to him by Shohei Ohtani for giving him the No. 17 jersey, he also went to his local high school, and showed off his dance moves on the basketball court.
Kelly re-signed with the Dodgers on a one-year, $8 million deal this offseason after they acquired him at the 2023 trade deadline from the Chicago White Sox.
He was dominant in limited action last year with L.A., sporting a 1.74 ERA in 11 appearances.
Kelly will likely be one of the Dodgers' high-leverage relievers in 2024, as they look to get back to the World Series in this new era of Dodger baseball.
While Kelly was quick to give up his jersey number to Ohtani, it may be harder to lose his title as fan favorite in the organization — especially if he continues to go viral like he did this week.
