Korean Baseball Bubble Boy Kicks Off Game ... Socially Distant First Pitch

Baseball might be back in Korea ... but traditional ceremonial first pitches sure as hell ain't!!

Check out how the Korean Baseball Organization adhered to social distancing guidelines while kicking off one of its games Tuesday ... a 9-year-old in a bubble did the honors!!

The unique scene all went down just before KT Wiz's game in South Korea ... when Lee Raon took the mound inside of an air-filled bag shaped like a baseball.

But, instead of the kid throwing out a pitch ... he walked his bubble to homeplate, signifying the game's first throw -- and boom, that tipped off the action on the diamond!
