Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s ceremonial first pitch at Tuesday’s Miami Marlins game left a lot to be desired.
Mendoza was enlisted to throw out the first pitch prior to the Marlins’ 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at loanDepot Park in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday.
The likely No. 1 NFL Draft pick tried to make the pitch from the top of the mound, but unworked one way high and outside.
It may seem obvious, but it’s easy to tell that Mendoza is a football player and not a baseball guy. He throws the ball like a quarterback, even here, so he obviously gets a bit more height on the ball than he probably intended to.
