Victor Wembanyama, who is expected to be taken by San Antonio with the first pick in the NBA draft this week, threw out a wild ceremonial first pitch before the New York Yankees played against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. Victor Wembanyama appeared wearing a pinstriped jersey with “New York” written across the chest rather than the traditional interlocking “NY,” with Joe DiMaggio's No. 5 on the back. The 19-year-old seven-foot-plus tall basketballer threw the ball in the dirt, well wide of the plate to the first-base side despite his practice with the Yankees players, qualifying him for a spot in the Hall of Fame of worst ceremonial first pitches. https://twitter.com/YESNetwork/status/1671292774866628608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1671292774866628608%7Ctwgr%5Ec442e4da81c128290bbf33801589fa94624449ee%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Fsports%2Fnba%2F2023%2F06%2F20%2Fwatch-victor-wembanyama-first-pitch-yankee-stadium%2F70340543007%2F Victor Wembanyama had told YES Network Yankees reporter Meredith Marakovits before the opening ceremony that he was confident in throwing out the pitch. He also said he likes watching baseball.
