Jefry Yan celebrates prematurely as Mets secure walk-off victory

New York Mets rookie relief pitcher Jefry Yan gained attention during a game against the Washington Nationals on August 15, 2026. After striking out Nasim Nuñez, Yan jumped in celebration, only to learn that the pitch had been ruled a ball following a challenge. Commentators Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez reacted with humor as the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) confirmed the call. Two pitches later, Yan secured the strikeout, allowing the Mets to later score two runs in the bottom of the ninth for a walk-off victory, marking Yan's first career win.
