Gronk throw, not spike.
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski showed off his pitching arm Thursday night in Anahiem, firing a strike to Angels superstar Mike Trout.

Gronkowski and Trout promote the same nutritional supplement, which is what Gronk was carrying off the mound.
The greatness must have rubbed off on Trout (OK, maybe not): The Halos center fielder homered in his first at-bat in the Freeway Series exhibition vs. the Dodgers.
