J.J. McCarthy throws horrendous first pitch at Twins game
NY Post
In the words of Bob Uecker, this pitch was juuuust a bit outside.
Vikings first-round pick J.J. McCarthy threw out the first pitch ahead of Tuesday’s Twins game against the Rays at Target Field, and he made it clear that his career is in football and not in baseball.
The Minnesota rookie quarterback sent his ceremonial first pitch sailing to the backstop — way left of the catcher — and drawing a groan from the crowd watching from the stands.
While the pitch maybe wasn’t as bad as 50 Cent’s infamous first pitch at Citi Field back on May 28, 2014, it still wasn’t close to being good.
McCarthy did a hop and skip as he exited the playing field quickly as the stadium organ played in the background.
McCarthy was selected 10th overall by the Vikings at this year’s NFL draft after helping to lead Michigan to a national title earlier in the year.
