Pat Connaughton, a former MLB pitching prospect, threw a wildly inaccurate first pitch before the Brewers game

Not since Mark Wahlberg has a Massachusetts native been so dangerously wild before the start of an MLB game.

Still, we should probably expect better from Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton.

The Arlington-bred NBA player was a two-sport athlete during his career at Notre Dame. In addition to captaining the Fighting Irish basketball team, Connaughton was a star pitcher for the college’s baseball team, with a fastball clocked as high as 98 mph. He was even drafted in the fourth round of the 2014 MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles.
