Munenori Kawasaki currently plays for the Toronto Blue Jays as a shortstop. Originally from Japan, Kawasaki is a pretty good player who bats left, throws right, and has a .294 batting average. However, it’s not his baseball skills that have gotten him a lot of attention around the world and online recently. No, Kawasaki’s willingness to bust a move on and off the field are what everyone’s talking about right now.
Posted on MLB.com, Major League Baseball’s official homepage, this short 35-second video showcases some of Kawasaki’s best moves:
▼ On the field.
▼ While being interviewed.
▼ And in the dugout.
You’ll have to agree with Kawasaki when he exclaims, “I’m fantastic every day!” His robotic arm movements, crazy eyes, and “dance like no one’s watching” attitude are sure to make you smile. Check him out in the video below!
