He threw out the first pitch and given he is a professional athlete many expected him to have success throwing the ball but that is far from the case.<\/p>\n<p>The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion pitched the ball well wide of the plate and high. McGregor was throwing the ball to Patrick Wisdom who turned and saw the ball go way over his head and hit the netting protecting the fans. The mascot then turned around and gave McGregor a confused stare.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Conor McGregor, Mechanics. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/j1brsqFFXx\">pic.twitter.com\/j1brsqFFXx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PitchingNinja\/status\/1440459592438218753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The good news for Conor McGregor is he is not a baseball player and doesn&#8217;t have to worry about throwing baseballs.
