Joseph William Kelly Jr. (born June 9, 1988) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Chicago White Sox. He played college baseball for the UC Riverside Highlanders, where he served as both a starter and a reliever. The Cardinals drafted Kelly in the third round of the 2009 MLB draft. Listed at 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) and 190 pounds (86 kg), Kelly batted and threw right-handed. He won the World Series in 2018 and 2020 with the Red Sox and Dodgers, respectively. Kelly gained publicity for his comical repertoire, such as dancing in the outfield during practice, disguising himself while interviewing the unwitting rapper Nelly, engaging in a lengthy staredown with Dodgers outfielder Scott Van Slyke before a 2013 National League Championship Series game, and wearing a charro jacket to the White House. In 2020, Kelly's mocking of Carlos Correa complaining about a near hit by pitch became a popular online meme.
