Hitters have the bat flip, and pitchers have the … backflip?
We introduce you to Dusten Knight, closer for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
Knight, a 28-year-old “prospect” of the Minnesota Twins, celebrates saves by performing a backflip on the mound. He performed the maneuver Monday night after securing a win against the Biloxi Shuckers, and video of the backflip since has gone viral.

Seems a bit aggressive, if you ask us.
But hey, not many people can throw baseballs really fast and do backflips, so whatever.
