First pitch faux pas for Mason Rudolph

Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph passed for 3,770 yards and 21 touchdowns during a stellar sophomore season in 2015 and returns in 2016 with the hope of setting the Big 12 on fire with his arm.

Based on his first pitch at Oklahoma State's baseball game against Oral Roberts on Tuesday evening, it's a good thing he'll be using that arm to throw a football and not a baseball.

The Big 12 has had several baseball-playing quarterbacks in recent years but it doesn't look like Rudolph -- who earned all-region honors in basketball during his time at Rock Hill (South Carolina) Northwestern High School -- was one of them.
