Patriots WR K.J. Osborn avoids humiliation with solid first pitch for Red Sox image

So often we see professional athletes attempt to throw out first pitches at MLB games, and they embarrass themselves with their inability to get the ball to the catcher.

Last year, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce threw out a pitch that bounced just feet in front of the mound at a Cleveland Guardians game.

Thankfully, New England Patriots wide receiver K.J. Osborn, who joined the team this offseason, was able to deliver a solid toss at Fenway Park on Friday night for the Boston Red Sox's series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.

There might not have been any heat behind that pitch, but at least he got it where it needed to be.
