Dolphins QB Malik Willis had one of worst first pitches of all time at Marlins game

The Miami Dolphins quarterback’s throw sailed high and drew mockery online after the Marlins’ 6-5 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

  • On Friday, Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis threw the ceremonial first pitch at a Miami Marlins home game against the Philadelphia Phillies, with the ball sailing high and wide past catcher Graham Pauley.
  • Willis stumbled during his delivery while wearing sneakers instead of cleats, affecting his traction and causing his body to angle away from home plate when he released the ball early.
  • The 26-year-old quarterback demonstrated significant arm strength with a 109.6 exit velocity in the batting cage Friday, while the Dolphins recently signed him to a three-year, $67.5 million contract.
  • Willis' pitch was far from the worst in MLB history, as celebrities like 50 Cent, Stephen A. Smith, and Mariah Carey have all endured significant difficulties delivering ceremonial first pitches.
  • Dolphins players frequently collaborate with South Florida sports teams, continuing a tradition that includes former stars like Dan Marino, Tua Tagovailoa, and Jaylen Waddle participating in community events.
