Rapper and catch-phrase artist Lil Jon was in San Diego on Wednesday to throw out the first pitch at the Padres-Mariners game. While his strut up to the mound deserves all the praise in the world, Lil Jon’s pitch was decidedly not praise-worthy. It was more “ehhhh” than “YE-AH.”

It would be challenging to find another pitch that was thrown so softly and still somehow managed to veer so far to the left. For what it’s worth, Matt Kemp seemed to agree that Lil Jon’s throwing motion could use some work.
