Former Mariners pitcher and current ROOT Sports Northwest analyst Ryan Rowland-Smith is making some waves by becoming the first pro baseball player, let alone pitcher, to participate on the NBC show American Ninja Warrior.

It’s a bold move for RRS, but the opportunity was presented to him by his bosses at ROOT and he decided to do some training and go for it. You can read all about it here on SB Nation’s own American Ninja Warrior, featuring a fun interview with RRS himself.
