Here’s something you might not have known: America’s favorite pastime is actually quite popular in other countries.

And luckily for us, Japan has one high school player that isn’t afraid to show off his flashy moves.

Uploaded by YouTube user kenansq, the video title and description is in Japanese except for the perfect description: “Fantastic Highschool BB Player.” You’ll want to skip to the 40-second mark in the video to really enjoy what this kid has to offer.

Check out his sweet bat swinging, energetic jumping and what seems to be Michael Jackson-esque dance moves as he attempts to hit the ball.
