The Boston Red Sox are currently at the bottom of the AL East standings, but if they need any help, Steve Aoki is standing by. He has a cannon.
The Red Sox welcomed the DJ to Fenway Park on Monday to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the game against the Astros. And while we have seen some bad first pitches over the years, I don’t think we’ve seen anyone completely airmail a throw quite as badly as Aoki did.
His throw was so off the mark that it ended up in the top netting above the seats behind home plate. Like, if not for that netting, he would have thrown that pitch into the stands.

I don’t know if you could call that the worst first pitcher ever because it at least had distance. But if Jarrett Jack’s buzzer beater was a ceremonial first pitch, it would definitely have been that right there.
MLB fans almost couldn’t believe that throw.
