Baseball is a tough sport.<\/p>\n

I feel like I’m not breaking any news here by saying that, but it’s always a wild reminder to see elite athletes in other sports<\/a> try and fail to look competent on a baseball diamond.<\/p>\n

Watching NBA players<\/a> who can dribble a ball like it’s on a string and jump four feet into the air take hacks at batting practice tells you all you need to know about how brutal the sport of baseball is.<\/p>\n

One thing that should translate from one sport to another is throwing, and this year’s NFL Draft<\/a> features plenty of good throwers, no more so than Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.<\/p>\n

Mendoza was at the Marlins game Tuesday night, not just as a fan but to throw out the ceremonial first pitch as well.<\/p>\n

You would think something like tossing a ball would come as second nature to the South Florida native<\/a>, but the video of him firing one across home plate had many scratching their heads.<\/p>\n

Juuuuust a bit high!<\/p>\n

Okay, Mendoza is a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback<\/a> and has a national championship ring to his<\/a> name (he’s also about to be several million dollars richer), so I don’t think he’s worried what some clown on the internet thinks of his first pitch at a Marlins game no one went to.<\/p>\n

But, man! That pitch wouldn’t have been called a strike on Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n

It’s clear from his motion and delivery he was trying to throw it like a football, which makes sense, but are you trying to tell me Mendoza has never tossed a baseball in his life?<\/p>\n

Call me a hater all you want, but I’m not the only one who is a little concerned about Mendoza’s first pitch.<\/p>\n

Don’t quit your day job, Fernando.<\/p>\n

While it would be funny for scouts and GMs to use this to ding Mendoza and potentially drop him out of the top spot, I don’t see that happening.<\/p>\n

And, if we look at that purely from a football throw, it’s not bad.<\/p>\n

Great form, delivers it high where only the receiver can catch it.<\/p>\n

Yep, I’m sold. Mendoza to the Raiders confirmed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
