Bengals TE Mike Gesicki threw out a not-great first pitch at Reds game

When it comes to Cincinnati Bengals players throwing out the first pitch at Cincinnati Reds games, let's just say fans have seen a few better than Mike Gesicki over the years.

Gesicki hit the mound before a Reds game this week and delivered the first pitch. It was a bit (a lot) high, to the point the catcher had to get out of his stance to help and still couldn't save it.

It feels like an oh-so-Gesicki moment at this point, though, considering one of his other famous struggles is his complete inability to hit a Griddy well.

Jokes aside, the Bengals re-upped with Gesicki this past offseason on a three-year extension, locking him into Joe Burrow's offense for the foreseeable future. Meaning, maybe he'll get another shot at a first pitch soon.
