Hey, Mets fans: Meet your newest outfielder, Yoenis Cespedes
It can be a bit overwhelming when your favorite team signs a player to a multi-year contract worth nine-figures. The new player is instantly a key member of the franchise and, as a fan, you want to be sure you know everything there is to know about him.
Don't worry, Mets fans. Your team may have just signed some new outfielder named Yoenis Cespedes to a four-year, $110 million deal, but we have everything you need to know about your team's brand-new, never-heard-of-him-before player right here.
He hits baseballs a long ways
So you want to get to know Cespedes? First thing you have to know is that sometimes when he swings a bat at a baseball, the baseball flies for what seems like an eternity. Here he is hitting his longest home run of 2016 -- a 457-foot blast to deep center field.
Sometimes his arm disappears, but don't even worry about it

He really digs alternative forms of transportation

He's anything but predictable.
He can throw a baseball really, really hard
When he's in the outfield and needs to unleash a throw to catch a runner, he can let loose and absolutely stun runners with the power of his arm:
It sure is a good thing his arm only vanishes temporarily.
He knows how to celebrate
Last, but certainly not least, you should know that Cespedes knows how to celebrate on the baseball field.
And there you have it, Mets fans. The mystery of Yoenis Cespedes has been solved. Get ready for four years of a power-hitting, power-throwing, delightful outfielder that you, of course, knew nothing about until today.
You think the Mets are excited?
