How Popular is Ninja? Entire Minor League Baseball Team Impersonates His Famous ‘Pon Pon’ Dance Between Innings
Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins has reached the world of baseball with an entire Minor League team impersonating his ‘Pon Pon’ dance which can typically be viewed while playing Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Although he began his career as a professional Halo player, Ninja has reached new heights within the gaming community in recent months after switching to a full-time career in content creation.
It is hard to argue against the claim that he is now considered the ‘Face of Twitch,’ with his presence overflowing from the gaming community into the mainstream after a collection of different endeavors.
He has been present on television broadcasts, major podcasts, and has even hosted his own Fortnite: Battle Royale tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada, along with breaking various records on Twitch,
His notoriety has apparently reached the likes of professional baseball, with the Columbia Fireflies, a Minor League affiliate of the New York Mets, impersonating Ninja with his famous ‘Pon Pon’ dance as a pitcher warms up between innings.
The Tweet is apparently their largest to date, with over 861k views, 2k retweets, and 19k likes at the time of writing.
With Ninja appearing to show no signs of slowing down anytime soon, it can only be theorized how large and well-recognized he can get in the future.
