Worst Pitch

Thanks to 23-year-old Jessica Jung, baseball fans everywhere now have a new video instructing the proper mechanics of how not to throw a baseball.

Jung is a Korean-American singer and dancer best known for her work in the nine-girl group, Girls' Generation. Escorted to the mound by two mascots of the Seoul-based LG Twins, Jung prepares her pitch with a long wind-up before unleashing her best heat.

Unfortunately, Jung's release was a bit too late as the ball bounced just a few steps away from her position on the field, most likely ensuring her spot in the category of worst first pitches ever. But like a pro, she took the embarrassing moment like a good sport, and seemed to have fun with it regardless.

The singer acknowledged her gaffe with a smile and wave to the crowd before heading back to the dugout, but hey, it could have been worse. At least she was able to keep her footing.

What did they expect? She is SNSD's most girly girl anyway.

I'm not saying she isn't pretty (but not as pretty as Yuri). If you read my comment, I'm blaming whoever chose her to do this over someone more athletic. If you need girly girl, choose Yoona or Jessica. If you need athletic, choose someone other than Jessica or Sooyoung.

It was the catcher's fault. He did not give her the proper sign.

My parents saw this on ESPN and told me about it lol. I don't care if she failed or not... I'm just so glad to see Girls Generation/SNSD getting some recognition here in the States!

That's ok Jessica. I've seen people attempt to kick a soccer ball and completely miss it - 3 different people.

Ms. Jung seemed to make the wind up and throw ok but she just messed up her release point - "just a little outside" - as Bob Uecker used to say. As far a terrible throws go - how quick we forget Carl Lewis.
