Yoenis Cespedes may have more swagger than any other player in Major League Baseball.
From the way he approaches the plate to the way he swings, the manner in which he trots around the bases following a home run and down to how he records outs with his glove, the New York Mets outfielder exudes swagger and supreme confidence in everything he does on the diamond ... and off.
After helping to lead the Mets to the World Series last fall and a month removed from signing a reported three-year extension worth $75 million, Cespedes didn't waste time showing off some of the fruits of his labor.
The 30-year-old pulled up to the Mets' spring training facility in Port St. Lucie, Fla. on Tuesday in a three-wheel vehicle looking like something straight out of Mario Kart ... or Mad Max, for that manner.
Needless to say, the customized vehicle equipped with Cespedes' No. 52, turned heads among the media covering the Mets' Spring Training, with everyone from reporters to team attendants and ESPN's SportsCenter official Twitter account eagerly snapping photos of the tricked-out ride.

"He's got a presence about him, for sure," Mets hitting coach Kevin Long told MLB.com.
The same MLB report claims that Mets third baseman David Wright was left awestruck at the sight of the vehicle with his "jaw open, coffee in hand."
Tech Times believes it. However, what is the ride?
Well, we did some snooping around, and it's a Polaris Slingshot three-wheel motorcycle reverse trike — one that Cespedes reportedly paid $25,000-plus for, while spending an additional $40,000 on customization work by Alex Vega of the Auto Firm and his Avorza imprint. Sheesh.
“It was fun because I re-did the whole bike the way he wanted to do it, the way I would do it," Vega told a Wall Street Journal blog.
Perhaps the best reaction to Cespedes' ride was that from a Mets security guard:
As a Mets security guy said, amazing when you don't even notice that the car parked next to it is a Maserati. pic.twitter.com/2jKtSAD6fL — Andrew Beaton (@andrewlbeaton) February 23, 2016
How crazy is that?
