Austin Rivers

We’ll start with Austin. His pitch didn’t go too well. First off, he walks out without his ceremonial jersey buttoned up at all. Not a good look. Second, he drops the ball on the way to the mound. Oh, Austin. Finally, he lofts the pitch way left and high. (At least it didn’t bounce, I guess?)

Blake Griffin

Blake was actually able to get in some batting practice. He and his brother, Taylor, were able to take some swings and actually got complimented on their hitting. However, Blake was unable to get one out of the park.

We’ll have to keep an eye out this baseball season to see if any more Clippers try their hands at baseball or if some try and redeem themselves.
