Victor Wembanyama is a wizard with a basketball. Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, he showed off his talents — or lack thereof — with a baseball.
The projected No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft at Barclays Center, Wembanyama was invited by the Yankees to throw out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of their game against the Seattle Mariners.
The 7-foot-4 Frenchman is lucky he’s being drafted for his basketball skills and not his pitching. He confidently took the mound while getting the crowd involved, but sent the pitch wide right of the catcher.
The prospect then threw a ball — intentionally — into the stands for fans, and seemed to terrify Yankees manager Aaron Boone.
