For one night, Najee Harris traded in his football helmet for the pitcher’s mound. A Bay Area native, he was invited and threw out the first pitch at Friday’s Oakland Athletics game against the Houston Astros. Take a look at Harris firing one to home plate, and having a little fun in the process.

Things got real serious on the mound and Harris got into form, called for a fastball, but went a bit more off-speed on the actual pitch.
