Suns No. 4 pick Josh Jackson threw a first pitch for the D-backs, and it was … really something

By Jessica Kleinschmidt

The first round of the NBA Draft has concluded. That means a few future basketball stars are making appearances in the cities they now call home to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
In Los Angeles, Lonzo Ball tossed the prestigious pitch Friday night to Kenley Jansen before the Rockies-Dodgers game after being selected by the Lakers with the No. 2 overall pick.

But it was Josh Jackson, in Arizona to throw out the first pitch for the Diamondbacks as they hosted the Phillies Friday night, who had a pitch worth talking about.
You see, it wasn't great as you can see in the tweet below.

He's one of the top small forwards in this Draft class, but as you can see he's likely to make more highlights on the court than the diamond.
