A Clemson first-round draft pick had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at a MLB game this week.
Former Clemson defensive end Myles Murphy, now of the Cincinnati Bengals, tossed the first pitch prior to the Cincinnati Reds’ 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night at Great American Ball Park in Cincy.
Murphy was drafted 28th overall by the Bengals in this year’s draft following his three-year Clemson career (2020-22) which he finished with 17.5 sacks and 139 tackles, including 37 for loss.
Check out Murphy’s first pitch — which went “juuuussst a bit outside” — below:
