Latest Celebrity Slugger delivers 'Siwa Special'
Have yourself a day, JoJo Siwa.
The popular YouTube creator showed out during the second episode of Celebrity Sluggers, a new series from MLB Originals that combines getting to know celebrity guests through fun and entertaining interviews with the challenge of hitting fastballs of increasing speed.
Sporting a blue Chicago Cubs jersey, JoJo peppered line drives all over the field. She even hit a couple of home runs. Or, “Siwa Specials,” as she put it. “Is JoJo good, or am I just good at pitching?” show host Hannah Stocking asked.
In between rounds, JoJo and Stocking talked about socks, the Masked Singer, their food diets and the Celebrity Softball Game that she participated in earlier this month.
“I frickin' love baseball,” JoJo said during the show.
Upcoming episodes include D’Arcy Carden (A League of the Own), Aubrey Plaza (Spin Me Around, Little Demon), social media star Charli D’Amelio and Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai).
Following each episode, MLB will make a donation to Stand Up To Cancer in the name of the participating Celebrity Slugger. It’s the latest program from MLB Originals, a content slate of series and longform features around baseball stories on and off-the-field, including the acclaimed mic’d up series PLAY LOUD, which will have new All-Star Game edition episodes launching soon on YouTube.
