As first pitches go, this one was a big hit.

When South Korean figure skater Kim Ye-lim tossed out the first pitch at the SSG Landers home opener against the KIA Tigers on Friday, she really threw herself into the activity.

As footage from the KBO League game shows, the Olympic skater didnt just toss the ball; she acrobatically twisted and twirled her own body before balletically getting herself in place to throw a heater into the catchers mitt.

South Korean figure skater Kim Ye-Lim had one of the best first pitches weve ever seen
