Baseball fans received a pleasant surprise during the offseason when a video of Carlos Rodón's 2014 draft night karaoke performance went viral.
Rodón, the newly acquired New York Yankees pitcher, sang Frank Sinatra's famous "New York, New York" while accurately predicting his own future. On Dec. 21, 2022, Rodón signed a six-year, $162 million contract with the Yankees. Nobody missed the irony of the situation. But the fun did not stop there.
Fans were given access to the complete draft night karaoke video, which Rodón shared with MLB Network in 2014. This was made possible by Rodón's wife, Ashley. A gifted performer hiding behind the pitcher's mound was revealed by this unanticipated gift to future generations.

Rodón displayed his impressive range by moving from Sinatra to Swift. With a self-assured declaration of being "big-league," Rodón continued to surprise everyone by performing a Beastie Boys rap performance.
While Rodón's karaoke skills do not match his pitching prowess, this glimpse into his entertaining side provided a refreshing and lighthearted perspective.
