Watch Jaden Greathouse and Eli Raridon throw out the first pitch for South Bend Cubs
The list of Notre Dame football players getting the opportunity to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game grew on Tuesday, as Jaden Greathouse and Eli Raridon accomplished the feat for the South Bend Cubs.
The minor league affiliate for the Chicago Cubs invited the two Irish stars to partake in the pregame festivities, as Greathouse went first, throwing a solid strike. Raridon went next, and while he didn't throw it with nearly as much pace as his teammate, it was still a solid pitch.
Head coach Marcus Freeman has thrown out first pitches for the Chicago White Sox, the New York Mets and the New York Yankees. Just a few weeks ago linebacker Drayk Bowen threw the first pitch at a White Sox game as part of his Name, Image, and Likeness deal with the club.
Former Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet did the same last year for the Cubs, and Rylie Mills also threw one for the White Sox last summer. It's an opportunity that many don't get, but plenty of Irish stars have gotten the chance.
