Madison Kocian’s First Pitch

Olympic gymnast Madison Kocian put a gymnastics twist on her time on the mound, starting with a press handstand to a front walkover, and then sticking the landing by landing the ball squarely in the mitt of manager Jeff Banister.

Tossing strikes in style. That’s how you throw a first pitch, @MadisonKocian! https://t.co/ZUprOxa0F6 #FinalFive pic.twitter.com/BxB8TejEoy

Earlier in the week Madison spent the day with Olympic gymnast Carly Patterson working out, and laying out by the pool.
