Boing Boing Staging

Watch gymnasts Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian throw creative first pitches

Hernandez on first pitch, experience in Rio

As part of their post-Olympics publicity tours, U.S. Women’s Gymnastics team members Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian were invited to throw out first pitches at two respective baseball games. And both gold medal winning members of the “Final Five” decided to show off more than just their throwing arms. Hernandez added an aerial flip to her first pitch for the Mets.

Meanwhile Kocian began her pitch for the Texas Rangers with an equally impressive handstand.
