The Golden State Warriors rookie first-round pick Brandin Podziemski delivered one of the most impressive first pitches of the season before the San Francisco Giants' game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. The former Santa Clara University star’s first pitch may have been a little high of the strike zone, but clocked in at 86 mph, easily the fastest of the season.

It turns out that Podziemski actually primarily played baseball growing up.
