I Thought It Was a Ping-Pong Ball" What Happened When Wembanyama Visited a Baseball Field

 Victor Wembanyama (19, 224 cm), who is one day away from being called the No. 1 overall pick, threw out his first pitch on a baseball field.

Wembanyama was at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York, USA, on April 21. Wembanyama threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the game between the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners, which was covered in detail by 안전사이트 local media including ESPN.

While on the mound, Wembanyama threw a pitch that the catcher didn't even get up to catch. A smiling Wembanyama later gave the ball used for the first pitch to a fan in the stands. "The baseball in Wembanyama's hand looked like a ping-pong ball," said MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball.

Before and after the game, he enjoyed a tour of the ballpark. Before the game, Wembanyama headed to the batting cage to chat with players taking batting practice and posed for photos with Yankees catcher Jose Trevino. Trevino has been a San Antonio Spurs fan since childhood. Wembanyama later signed a Yankees jersey.

At 6-foot-4, Wembanyama was a rare sight to behold. He couldn't stand under the roof because he was taller than the dugout. "I've never seen anyone with their head above the dugout," laughed the employee, who has worked for the Yankees for about 20 years.

"It was my first time throwing a baseball," Wembanyama said. I thought it was going to be pretty hard, but it wasn't. 메이저놀이터 I also used the subway and train, and it was a nice day to enjoy the city."

Meanwhile, Wembanyama will be selected by San Antonio with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft on May 25. Wembanyama, who recently grew taller and measured in at 224 centimeters, is considered by many to be the best talent since LeBron James due to his combination of athleticism, reliable dribbling, and three-point shooting ability. ESPN also said, "He's a lock to be the No. 1 pick. In addition to his versatility, he proved his health last season by playing every game."
