As the biggest name in Ohio sports, it’s not surprising when the Cleveland Indians bring in any representative from the state of Ohio to throw out the first pitch.
Recently, Denzel Ward got the call, and on Sunday he was the Buckeyes basketball coach Jake DieblerIt’s time. It’s a big deal to ask for, and as an Ohioan while leading the Ohio State basketball team, it made perfect sense for him to get the opportunity.
Now we all know that Diebler’s favorite sport is basketball, and like Ward, he didn’t land a hit. He wasn’t as wild as the Cleveland Browns cornerback when he jumped to the base.
We’re glad Diebler is a much better coach than he is at throwing a baseball.
