Travis Kelce is great at many things. The Kansas City tight end is proven he has the skills to host a podcast. He even has the skills to host SNL. However, the football phenom may have to retire his throwing arm. Kelce delivered the ceremonial first pitch for the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. The pitch was a less-than-ideal attempt at hitting the strike zone. Kelce will now join the likes of John Wall and 50 Cent on the list of worst first-pitch attempts.
The throw from Kelce made it to home plate. But it had to roll just to get there. Kelce isn’t going to live this one down for a few weeks. When his brother Jason gets to speak with him next, Travis will hope the video has been scrubbed from the internet. Of course, Kelce was a good sport about the event. The future Hall-of-Fame tight end has always shown to be a good sport. Unless you’re the mayor of Cincinnati. Then you better keep Kelce’s name and his team out of your mouth. Check out the video of Kelce’s pitch below.
Travis Kelce Should Stick To His Day Job

Kelce had hopes of bringing the heat, which looks like he did. But in the process, he almost took out Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber. Who I believe is in no relation to another popular Bieber. Kelce was showing off his Cleveland pride on Friday. The former Cincinnati Bearcat is from Cleveland. The city of Cleveland has many stars that have roots in the city. The most notable Cleveland athlete being LeBron James. Evidently, Kelce should ask LeBron for some notes before his next first pitch outing.
Travis Kelce will more than likely sit out a first pitch for a little while. If I were him, I would blame the throw on a cold shoulder. Most first-pitch volunteers don’t get a lot of time to warm up. The Chiefs organization may hope that was Kelce’s last throwing attempt for a while too. Because the team will want him to be at 100% within the next few months. Do you think you could make a better throw than Kelce? What are some other memorable first-pitch attempts? Sound off in the comment section.
