Cuban Major League player José "Candelita" Iglesias is experiencing magical moments, and it seems everything is going his way: he shines in the MLB wearing the uniform of the New York Mets and hit a musical home run with his single "OMG," which debuted at number one on the Billboard charts.
But that's not all! After having the privilege of being a player in 2015, the current second baseman will return to the All-Star Game, though this time he will delight the audience with his hit on July 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
The presentation won't be entirely a novelty, as on June 28, she performed "OMG" live following a 7-2 victory by the Mets over the Houston Astros at Citi Field in Flushing, New York.
From an artistic standpoint, "Candelita" recently began its victorious streak on the Billboard charts by debuting at the top, according to the criteria for Latin Digital Song Sales.
The athlete himself hit that ball with a big swing and celebrated on his Instagram account.
And this story is not new! For example, in February, he recorded the single "No voy a volver" with the renowned Cuban singer and songwriter Lenier Mesa. Without a doubt, he's on a positive streak.
In terms of sports performance, he has a batting average of .347, with three home runs and 16 RBIs, despite starting the season with a minor league invitation to Spring Training and playing 42 games in the level directly below (Triple-A).
Moreover, the energy injection from the Cuban player has been crucial for the Mets to improve their record, reaching the point where they are in the hunt for a playoff spot.
The former catcher, now 34 years old, debuted in the Major Leagues in 2011 with the Boston Red Sox and has played for seven teams. His career batting average is .281 over a total of 1,126 games, according to ESPN statistics.
So, amidst all the good news for the Cuban-American player, all that’s left is to keep dancing to the rhythm of "OMG."
