The Los Angeles Dodgers might have found the spark they need to break out of their recent slump—and it comes in the form of a brand-new celebration. After Alex Call delivered a clutch ninth-inning RBI single against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, he didn't go for the usual "hip lock" move. Instead, he unleashed a high kick toward his teammates, and the moment quickly became the talk of the dugout.

According to Jack Harris of the California Post, the Dodgers are keeping the origins of this celebration under wraps, but one player hinted that the team "needed to kick away the negativity"—a nod to the four-game losing streak that had been weighing them down before Sunday's win.

The most popular theory? It all started the night before. In Saturday's narrow 3-2 loss, Dalton Rushing struck out during a two-out rally in the ninth inning. Video footage shows Rushing returning to the dugout with an exaggerated high kick, nearly catching star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the face. "It looked like he was messing with him, and Yama flinched a bit," said Dodgers Nation's Noel Sanchez. "So maybe Call saw this go down, or it's become a trend among the guys."

The timing couldn't be better. Despite being one of the best-hitting teams in baseball, the Dodgers have struggled mightily with runners in scoring position—a problem that's been translating into tough losses. Manager Dave Roberts also noted that an illness has been circulating through the clubhouse, affecting at-bats. But if a little high-kick energy can help shake off the negativity and boost confidence, this new celebration might be just what the Boys in Blue need.

Sanchez is a fan of the move but offers a word of caution: "I honestly like this new hit celly from Call. If they keep it, I just hope the guys are stretching well so they don't pull anything when they kick."

So, which celebration do you prefer—the classic hip lock or this bold new high kick? Either way, it's clear the Dodgers are ready to kick their slump to the curb.
