Mets staff incorporate music video theme into pitcher Kodai Senga entrance

The New York Mets have implemented a new entrance for pitcher Kodai Senga at Citi Field featuring the Michael Jackson song “Beat It.” Executive producer Brendan McKeon and the team’s content staff developed a music video homage that includes choreography performed by Mr. Met and the Queens Crew. The presentation utilizes the team's internal assets to engage fans during home games. This initiative follows previous entertainment efforts at the ballpark, including the “OMG” performance by Jose Iglesias and the use of live music for closer Edwin Diaz. Mets leadership, including president of baseball operations David Stearns, noted that the pitcher has shown effective results in his relief role. The creative team continues to monitor crowd and social media reactions to refine the in-game experience for spectators throughout the season.
