Jake Paul may be able to throw a punch, but it seems as if his baseball swings could use a bit of work.
During Tuesday’s Miami Marlins game versus the San Diego Padres, Paul — the former YouTuber turned boxer who just launched a new betting company — threw out the first pitch. Ahead of his big moment, Paul took a few cracks in the batting cage during pregame warmups just for fun. Because after all, if you’re going to throw out the first pitch, why not get the full baseball experience while you can?
Unfortunately for Paul, his attempts in the batting cage were… pitifully subpar at best.

Look, I’m not sure I’d fare much better here considering hitting a baseball is scientifically proven to be one of the hardest things to do in sports. And yet, Paul is an athlete with quite the ego to match, so his failure to even get the bat on the ball once is painful.
As expected, MLB fans were ruthless in their roasts of Paul and his terrible swing.
