Victor Wembanyama throws out wild first pitch at Yankees game


French basketball star Victor Wembanyama threw out the ceremonial first pitch for Tuesday night’s New York Yankees game.

Wembanyama, the no-doubt No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, arrived in the New York area Monday in advance of Thursday’s draft.

Alleged to stand 7-foot-4, Wembanyama stood on the rubber and went into a windup, but his toss was way wide, and behind where a left-handed batter would stand.

The Yankees are facing the Seattle Mariners.

The San Antonio Spurs own the first choice of Thursday’s draft.
