This isn't the first time Kay has incorporated Gen Z slang into his analysis.
New York Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay has been trying to incorporate Gen Z Internet slang into his analysis this season, and he casually dropped another term during Sunday's game vs. the Atlanta Braves.
When describing the Braves' offense this year, Kay used the term "mid" when dissecting the team's season. This word is slang for describing something as mediocre. "You look at all of their offensive numbers, Joe, and as the kids would say, it's very mid," Kay said, sparking a laugh from his broadcasting partner Joe Girardi. "They're very middle of the road."when detailing an excited San Francisco Giants crowd. He made his partner Paul O'Neill crack up laughing then, too.
Kay has two young kids, so it's very possible he's learning his Gen Z slang from them. Or, maybe he's been diving into MLB TikTok or perusing memes on social media.Madison Williams is a Staff Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated, where she has covered the entire sports landscape since 2022.
