I think we all can agree that first pitches are usually God awful. Even the people you’d expect to have a cannon usually end up dribbling one before the plate or sailing one into the dugout (See: Paul Pierce, Charles Barkley)
On the other end of the spectrum is rhythmic gymnast Shin Soo-ji. The South Korean not only threw a respectable pitch before Sunday’s Nexen Heroes-Doosan Bears game, but did so after performing a mind-blowing gymnast thingy (not even going to try to describe it.)

Even fellow gymast and America’s own McKayla Maroney was impressed.
Ok, maybe not so much.
