MLB fans mock NBA rookie Victor Wembanyama as he delivers a terrible first pitch at a Yankees game

French basketball sensation Victor Wembanyama visited Yankee Stadium on Tuesday before the New York Yankees' game versus the Seattle Mariners. Wembanyama met and chatted with Yankees players, went into the team's dugout and participated in batting practice while wearing a pinstriped jersey with "New York" printed on the front and No. 5 on the back.

He went out to throw the first pitch before the game began, but it went well wide of the batter's box in a toss that would be eligible for the Hall of Fame of Worst Ceremonial First Pitches.

Many MLB fans couldn't resist making fun of Wembanyama for his throw:

"He was doing a bounce pass!" - Kirk Howell

"Donaldson or Stanton would swing at that….." - Scott Gura

"good thing Wemby's not planning on pitching for the Spurs" - CJ Fogler account may or may not be notable

Some are suggesting that the top NBA draft prospect should stick to basketball.

"I think it’s safe to say Wemby’s sticking to basketball" - Hamza

"Oh no, Wemby" - Daniel Starkand

"Never tell me again basketball player can play baseball @ethsolbtc" -

What went wrong with Victor Wembanyama’s first pitch?

Wembanyama's attempts were mocked by many, yet he might not have been able to assist himself by making a better pitch. Because of how large his hands are, it appeared like he was carrying a rubber ball rather than a baseball.

Victor Wembanyama is almost like an NBA 2K MyPlayer in real life. He is a great defender and at 7-foot-4 he is a shot-creator who can also handle the ball.

The majority of players of his stature are constrained to the paint or, more recently, to a trailing player who can shoot 3-pointers. He is widely regarded as a player who is capable of salvaging an entire franchise, which is what San Antonio Spurs fans will be hoping for next season.
