Most professional athletes can play multiple sports at a very high level, with some select few being able to play professionally in two separate like Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson did in their careers in the MLB and NFL.
However, some professional athletes that may seem to have the gift of being able to do anything athletically can look ridiculous when they take the mound in an MLB stadium to throw out the first pitch.
Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce is the latest professional athlete to likely regret throwing out the first pitch, as he couldn’t have done much worse throwing out the first pitch for the Cleveland Guardians recently.

Here are some fan reactions to Kelce throwing out one of the worst first pitches in recent memory by a superstar athlete:
The best Zack Wilson impression I’ve seen thus far.

No matter who you are or how athletic you may be, it is no easy task to get up in front of thousands of people and throw a pitch to a catcher with everyone watching to see potential comedy take place.
Olympic legend Carl Lewis was arguably the worst of the athletes from other sports to throw out the first pitch embarrassing himself years ago.
Rapper 50 Cent, although not an athlete, also had a first pitch that’ll go down as one of the worst ever, as it looked like he had never thrown a ball in his entire life.
Athletic or not, this is not easy and can be potentially hilarious anytime any celebrity or athlete takes the mound.
Welcome to the club, Kelce!
