Brandon Finnegan may have been the most dominant pitcher in last night’s duel between the Cincinnati Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies at Great American Ballpark, but he was not the only guy to throw from the mound.
Luke Fickell, new head coach of Bearcats football, was invited to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. If you missed it, here’s a look.

Fickell is a southpaw and went to the field with a glove on his right hand, showing his dedication and readiness. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he was prepared to go out and eat up six innings if he had to.
