Throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, Bomi showed off just how much she practiced by stepping on to the pitcher's mound and throwing a nearly perfect curve ball that landed straight into the catcher's mitt. Hayoung, who was the batter, didn't even get a chance to completely swing her bat around because the ball flew so fast. Throwing such a curve ball with that much strength is very impressive!
One of the commentators reportedly complimented the idol, "I've never seen a female celebrity throw the ball from the actual pitcher's mound (they're usually closer to the plate). It was a really great pitch. I think even the Kia players were shocked. Among the female celebrities that I've seen throw out the ceremonial pitch, I want to give her the number one spot."
Bomi's impressive throw didn't come without some sacrifice. It's the result of her natural athleticism and of course, lots and lots of practice! Cube Entertainment released a statement to TenAsia explaining just how Bomi came to be so good at pitching. They said, "Bomi practiced a lot because she didn't want to disappoint the baseball fans with lack of her knowledge on the sport. It also helped that she is naturally athletic."
Good job, Bomi!
