After being drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the No. 14 pick in the 2021 NBA draft and playing in the Las Vegas Summer League, rookie Moses Moody took his talents to the baseball diamond.
On Saturday, the Arkansas product took the mound to throw out the first pitch at the Oakland Athletics game against the New York Yankees. Donning a kelly green Oakland jersey, he fired a high strike over the plate. While his pitch didn’t skip before dropping across the plate, Moody’s throw was a bit high for the catcher.

Moody is the second member of the Warriors to recently throw out the first pitch at an A’s game. In early August, Warriors forward and Oakland native Juan Toscano-Anderson threw out the first pitch against the Texas Rangers.
