MLB.com

John Jaso is making a colorful first impression with his new Pittsburgh Pirates teammates.

The seven-year veteran, who's starting at first base Sunday for the first time in his career, took the field at PNC Park sporting yellow dreadlocks for Pittsburgh's Opening Day clash against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Jaso joined the Pirates during the offseason after spending the 2015 campaign with the Tampa Bay Rays. The 32-year-old former catcher is transitioning into a first baseman this year, and is expected to see the bulk of his at-bats against right-handed pitching.
