Watch Parris Campbell Throw the Opening Pitch in Cincinnati Before Wednesday Night's Reds vs. Marlins Game

It's opening pitch season, and the Cincinnati Reds enlisted Buckeye great and NFL hopeful Parris Campbell to toss theirs ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Marlins.

The throw wasn't perfect, but it got there.

Former @OhioStateFB and projected first round pick @PCampbell21 threw out today's first pitch!

Campbell grew up in northeast Ohio, attending St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in Akron, before heading to central Ohio to Ohio State in Columbus, and now he's throwing the first pitch in southwest Ohio, in Cincinnati.
