To be chosen for a first pitch at a baseball game is usually a nice honor; the person is being recognized in front of thousands of fans. But that comes as a double-edged sword: it also means that the person must show off their ball-throwing skills in front of thousands of fans, who will immediately judge them on that first pitch.
In honor of Owen Nolan and S.J. Sharkie's first pitches at the May 18 Oakland A's game, we decided to judge first pitches thrown by members of the San Jose Sharks.
