The pitch at the cameraman and the one hitting the guy in the nuts were both worth the price of admission. I never knew first pitches could be so entertaining.
I always thought that too until I saw some Astros fan in an Astros shirt throw one straight to the ground! She spiked it like a football & she took the top spot in my opinion. Look for it.
@NemeanLion- Exactly. She just hammed it up for the audience and laughed about it. To someone like her, that photographer is an absolute nobody and not worthy of her time or attention; even if she just hit him with a baseball. The multi millionaire, famous baseball player is though.
I doubt that, I don’t think I have ever heard anyone say “ oh, Baseball is an easy sport” that’s not really a thing… people say that about Nascar maybe. I think most people are self aware enough to realize it it’s not easy to hit a ball flying at you 90mph with a bat.
Eric Davis was absolutely perplexed. Lol That dude is awesome by the way. Haven't heard from him in a long time but He did a interview on the Jim Rome show in the early 2000's and it was really good.
When I played baseball my throws were more or less accurate. I never threw a ball for about 6/7 years after I stopped playing and when I started up again I threw stinkers like a lot of these guys. Use it or lose it.
The Darth Vader pitch was about how you’d expect a grown man that dresses up like Darth Vader to throw. I guess next, they’ll have him picking up girls.
Selecting these people to throw out the ceremonial first pitch is like selecting Rosanne Barr to sing the National Anthem at the All-Star game. Oh wait . . .
If I ever get a first pitch I'll tell you this, I'm going to fire that thing in there, and let's just say they better clear the area out in the general vicinity of the plate.
@@JonBecker81 Imagine never playing a guitar and you may have played it once or twice or even many times and you are a good guitarist and then for the first time ever you played that guitar in front of a 1000 people. Can you not imagine doing something badly purely because of the big crowd jitters?
@@bobbobertbobberton1073 throwing a baseball within 4 ft left or right of the plate is a whole hell of a lot easier than playing a guitar. I’ve seen compilations of these 1st pitches and it would have been easier for first base to catch it than the catcher.
@@JonBecker81 I used to be extremely (and still am, to a certain extent) shy and get stage fright. Things that are normally extremely easy to do become hard because your body shivers uncontrollably and you become stiff-plus you get the yips. The way I see it, for some people, throwing a first pitch is 10% skill and 90% controlling your emotions.
I doubt it’s the jitters that caused the awful toss. What they should have taught these people is not how to throw it but how to grip it. If they gripped it properly, they could have released it properly too.
Why do teams put these people on the mound and expect them to throw it 60’ 6” to a catcher behind the plate? In many cases these people haven’t thrown a ball in 30 years. And most of them have probably NEVER thrown off a mound. You’re setting them up to fail and there’s no reason for it. There’s no reason to make these “first pitch” ceremonies an actual pitch. Set them up in the 1st base line with a catcher standing 10 feet away and let them just softly lob it to them. Nobody gets embarrassed.
All of them were OK. I liked Jepson's, although I don't know who she is. Darth Vader has no mobility in his costume, for throwing. Only way he gets a strike is to use 'the Force.' The Wizards dude is telling, though, that you can be a great basketball player and not be able to throw a baseball. Jordan played baseball for 2 seasons and his throw was OK, but a LOT of moving parts. I like the idea that every sport is a 'piece' of the 'whole.' One thing I learned from playing video games, is that some bosses are harder to 'read' than most, because of their 'windup.' You need very good timing to 'parry' their heavy attack. I made progress, when I realized that one boss, in particular, who wields a big one handed lightning hammer, was like a big league fastball pitcher's windup. I would think baseball players would be better at games that involve reading different speed of attacks. That's why baseball is not this dumb American sport. It's kinda useful to know about.
Dude at 0:40 clearly knows how to throw properly. Any chance he hit that dude on purpose? I guess in his defense, the victim was a rather big, hard-to-miss target.
Didn't realize throwing a ball straight was that challenging for people 😂😂 Why are they releasing the ball while their hand is in mid wind up??😂😂😂 One dude released the ball while he was leaning back and on one foot 😂😂😂😂 Halarious
It seems like for most of these people it's the first time they've ever thrown a baseball. I would probably want to practice a few times before throwing before 35,000 fans on national television.
0:36 for all we know, that dude was actually aiming for that photographer's nuts and this is actually the greatest first pitch of all time
he wasnt idiot.
His reaction to getting hit reminded me of when you hit the "hippo" or fat guy in the old school game mike tysons punch out:)
That was the best one
I believe that was a 2 ball count lol ...
🤣😂💀
The pitch at the cameraman and the one hitting the guy in the nuts were both worth the price of admission. I never knew first pitches could be so entertaining.
😂
0:36 the organ music afterwards makes it 100x funnier
The first one in my opinion is the worst one of all time 😭
I always thought that too until I saw some Astros fan in an Astros shirt throw one straight to the ground! She spiked it like a football & she took the top spot in my opinion. Look for it.
It is the worst one of all time because she hit him in the face and didn’t even say she was sorry. She went over and hugged the actual player.

How do ya not know how to throw a baseball
No way, she fuckin gotem
2:25 The umpire ejects the mayor 😂
Laughed so hard at it lol
😂😂😂
If I threw that bad I would not want to do it.The guy who was hit in nuts in Boston was my favorite.
It's amazing how even elite athletes can look as uncoordinated as an infant when doing something unfamiliar like pitching lol
perhaps a day of practice?
@@kenmtb I'm saying bruh. It looks like some of them have actually never thrown a baseball.
forget baseball, it's just throwing a ball. These people never threw rocks before it's the same mechanics 😂
That dude that got hit in the nuts tho 😂😂😂
No, in the nutsack. It's a big difference
Imagine being told that you’re going to 1st pitch at a Major league baseball game and then not even practicing not even one throw
Most of the people who through these pitches are probably the ones who say baseball is an easy sport
You probably make fun of people who spell things wrong as well.
@@cantoffendanyone5786 I mean he is right..
It really isn’t no starter players could hit it right off the bat like how the see it on thhe mlb…
*threw
I doubt that, I don’t think I have ever heard anyone say “ oh, Baseball is an easy sport” that’s not really a thing… people say that about Nascar maybe. I think most people are self aware enough to realize it it’s not easy to hit a ball flying at you 90mph with a bat.
The second announcer spoke so much truth in 15 seconds
0:22 that might be the biggest roast I thing I’ve ever heard
Eric Davis was absolutely perplexed. Lol
That dude is awesome by the way. Haven't heard from him in a long time but He did a interview on the Jim Rome show in the early 2000's and it was really good.
He definitely has a story to tell coming from where he did and getting where he got to.
2:08 Ms. Texas throw was bad but her form makes up for it
she signed up for the bowling opening ceremony
How to tell everyone you never played Little League as a kid without actually telling them.
it’s like some of them never held a baseball in their life jesus😂
2:17 even the dude that was supposed to catch it is like "what the fuck was that?"
It is amazing how far apart various athletic skill sets can be from one another
Surprised an athlete like Connor McGregor failed so bad
He can throw hands, but apparently not a ball
It looks like he's not even a lefty
I'm not
He was probably drunk
Conor throws like a girly man 😆
That old dude threw that ball like, I told ya'll keep this F*CKIN ball out of my yard!!
I hope everyone has a great day
If i got to throw out a first pitch i would chuck it into the stands
Screw that! Chuck it to 2nd!
Poor Irish dude in the second clip never held a baseball in his life before that throw 🍀 ⚾️
But he had access to rocks right? There’s rocks in Ireland. All kids throw rocks.
Would have been better if Vader took out a storm trooper
I will shut out every argument that says 36 seconds wasn’t premeditated.
Death Vader could’ve definitely recovered by pretending to force choke the stands for booing him
That darth vader pitch was hilarious,, he was like here go fetch,,,
The look on Eric Davis’ face says it all. Wonder if the mayor of Cincinnati knows if he’s right handed or not.
When I played baseball my throws were more or less accurate. I never threw a ball for about 6/7 years after I stopped playing and when I started up again I threw stinkers like a lot of these guys. Use it or lose it.
The Darth Vader pitch was about how you’d expect a grown man that dresses up like Darth Vader to throw. I guess next, they’ll have him picking up girls.
Mouse over 0:38 and click over and over. It's quite an effect! By the way, who dubbed in the crunching sound?
If you decided to make a part 2 to this video, don't forget to include the D1 baseball player from Brown University, earlier this year.
Wouldnt you practice if you were scheduled to throw out the first pitch? I would...and i pitched varsity in high school.
The problem is a lot of these guys think pitching is easy
Imagine going to a game thinking you are just going to take pictures, but you walk out with a vasectomy
Personally I think Gary threw like that on purpose because it made for some great radio afterwards!!
Exactly.
The force definitely was not with Darth on that one
John Wall was dunking the baseball
The problem seems to be that most of these people tried winding up. They would have been better suited doing a soft lob.
Im not going to be a professional baseball player any time soon but I'm pretty certain i could at least get it to catcher
“Tee Hee!! He said I broke his camera but it’s not like those silly things are expensive or anything!! Some men get SO grumpy!!”
HELPPP I LAUGHED SO LOUD AT THE FIRST ONE I WAS SHOCKEDDDD HAHA
Selecting these people to throw out the ceremonial first pitch is like selecting Rosanne Barr to sing the National Anthem at the All-Star game. Oh wait . . .
Jesus 50 can’t even throw a ball straight lol
I knew baba booey's would be on there 😂
I feel like they do a worst pitch on purpose just to get people talking about them. Like how hard is to throw a damn ball
I played alot of of baseball so to me this is hilarious and confusing 😂
I suck at baseball and this is still confusing to me lol. Have these people never thrown a ball before?
The third pitcher threw out the nutcracker pitch,something he just learned.👍🏼
You guys were scared to put Fauci in there huh. lol
Too bad the same can't be said about trump in prison
@ttacking_you Your sentence contradicts itself lmao.
@@dantheman9919 better?
Your name says it all. Soy.
I would think to at least practice at home before the game right !? I guess most of these celebrity guests dont think ahead much haha 😂
Ouch the cubs pitching staff joke hurt.
Connor was a disappointment. The man knows how to throw a punch so why can’t he throw a ball 😂
You can add Stephen A Smoth to that list
I LITERALLY never knew that the average person was this pathetically uncoordinated. I'm shocked at how ridiculously bad these are.
You’d think they’d do a couple practice throws before hand
I’m pretty positive they do
I can't imagine growing up not learning how to throw a ball. But video doesn't lie.
As a baseball pitcher, this makes me feel like a superhero - LOL
Love how the organ played right after nut shot
The fact that people can't throw a ball is a knock against their parents in my opinion. And it's sad.
0:35 😂😂😂
Forgot Tony Fauci's flattened curve.
If I ever get a first pitch I'll tell you this, I'm going to fire that thing in there, and let's just say they better clear the area out in the general vicinity of the plate.
How is it possible for all these guys not be able to throw a ball? Did they really pick that moment to find out that they csnt throw a ball??
I never thought of 50cent the same after that…
How do these people throw the ball so far away from the target?
You ever had to do anything in front of hundreds if not thousands of people?
@@bobbobertbobberton1073 yes all the time I’m a musician.

Did they only have a boys medium jersey for 50 cent to wear?
Angel Hernandez be like: "STRIKE!"
No stephen a smith?

In refference to Conner M. first mistake was trying to pitch while wearing a tight dress coat!
Baba Booey not even close to being the worst.
well that is big hit to the Empires marketing department
To be fair, Conner was wearing a $5,000 suit
I keep expecting the next pitch to be good, even though I searched for this.
MLB should just get rid of this “first pitch” nonsense. There’s absolutely no point in this event.
I knew id see Mark Mallory's terrible first pitch in there.

1:06 everybody after that game was killed shortly thereafter
Where’s dr fauci
Wow.
So did these folks not even practice or warm up?
Mcgregor and 50 got something in common
You can kind of forgive mcgregor a bit as he's Irish and they don't play the game.
List is a fail, no Anthony Fraudci.
That being said, his throw was still significantly better then his honesty and accountability.
Dude at 0:40 clearly knows how to throw properly. Any chance he hit that dude on purpose? I guess in his defense, the victim was a rather big, hard-to-miss target.
The bangkok pitch was epic.
They might have better results if they try a split fingered fastball. I think most try to throw the ball by gripping it with all five fingers. 🤔
The Mets can’t even catch a break with their first pitches 😂😂😂
Didn't realize throwing a ball straight was that challenging for people 😂😂
Why are they releasing the ball while their hand is in mid wind up??😂😂😂
One dude released the ball while he was leaning back and on one foot 😂😂😂😂 Halarious
It disrespectful to throw that badly. It’s an honor to be asked to do it. If you don’t make the effort to prepare for it, that’s on you!!!
Instead of Darth Vader, it should have been a Stormtrooper. We all know they can't hit the target.
It seems like for most of these people it's the first time they've ever thrown a baseball. I would probably want to practice a few times before throwing before 35,000 fans on national television.
The way everyone described baba booeys I was expecting way worse. It was bad but not as bad as some of the others on here
Of course the most ridiculous one is in Boston. How do you hit a photographer squarely in the nuts without trying?
It’s amazing how difficult it is for people to do this 😂
NO REDOs!
Kind of shocking, as someone else said it’s as if they never held a baseball in their entire life
2:59 Artie Lange losing it as BaBa Booey blows it
You forgot O’Bummer
How the hell can anybody throw anything that far off the mark?
That bimbo in the first video, didn’t even say she was sorry after hitting him in the face. She just went over and hugged the player.
That ballerina had the most elegant pitch ever!
