Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson is the epitome of a big-leaguer. He's popular, he's in the news, he's an MVP winner, and he apparently doesn't even need to run the bases.

The 31-year-old slugger, who is recovering from an early-spring calf injury, brought the luxuries of playing in the show to minor-league camp on Friday when he just strutted back to the dugout after hammering a home run against minor-leaguers of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Donaldson was obviously saving any strain on his calf by doing this, but it did make him look "So Show" as the creator of the video tweeted.

The 2015 American League MVP hopes to return to big-league camp over the weekend to get some reps in before the Blue Jays open up their regular season against the Baltimore Orioles on April 3.
