Former Michigan Football Star Throws 'Worst First Pitch Ever' At MLB Game
- Former NFL offensive linemen Taylor Lewan and Will Compton threw the ceremonial first pitches at the Royals-Cardinals game Thursday night at Busch Stadium.
- Lewan’s poor pitch, which sailed near the first-base on-deck circle and missed the strike zone, drew attention partly because he retired after nine seasons with the Titans.
- Lewan showed visible frustration by throwing his hat to the field and doing push-ups, while Compton followed with a strike to the plate.
- Lewan tweeted that this was the lowest point of his sports career, even when compared to the game where Chandler Jones managed to sack him four times.
- The incident sparked social media reactions, but Lewan vowed redemption and his podcast 'Bussin' With The Boys' continues after leaving Barstool Sports early 2025.
