Mets' Jose Iglesias Sings 'OMG' After Game; Hits No. 1 on iTunes After Viral Video
June 29, 2024
New York Mets infielder Jose Iglesias has showcased his talents on the field this season, but he gave fans a look at his off-field talents on Friday.
After the Mets' 7-2 win over the Houston Astros, Iglesias performed his new song, "OMG" for the fans at Citi Field, and the crowd and his teammates appeared to love it.
The song, which he released under the stage name Candelita following the performance on Friday, has already proved to be a success less than 24 hours later, rising to the No. 1 Latin song on iTunes.
"OMG" is Iglesias' sixth released song, as he released a pair of singles in 2023 and has released three other songs this year, one of which debuted earlier in June.
His song's acclaim should give him plenty of confidence in his musical abilities, and perhaps it will translate to success on the field as well.
This season, Iglesias has 14 hits, six RBI and five runs in 36 at-bats and he currently has a .389 batting average. He's appeared in just 17 games but has made the most of his time on the field.
Perhaps Iglesias' new song can be the Mets' anthem as they look to continue their current hot streak. New York has won 16 of its 22 games in the month of June and is currently on a four-game win streak after beating the Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees and Astros this week.
