Two weeks after the Oklahoma Sooners won the national championship for the second year is a row, the team’s star pitcher Paige Parker went to Kauffman stadium to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before a Kansas City Royals game. Before heading to the mound that night, Paige got to hang out in the batting cages with a few Royals players and threw some warm-up pitches to Royals backup catcher Drew Butera who was clearly not ready for what was coming his way.
Watch as Parker knocks Butera on his ass with her insanely hard throws.
Safe to say the @Royals were impressed when @paigeparker008 warmed up last week before her first pitch.
