OAKLAND – First pitches can be very, very bad.
It doesn’t matter as much if you’re not famous, but when you’re someone like Klay Thompson, you airmail the pitch and you’ll end up seeing yourself all over SportsCenter (see rapper 50 Cent).
This wasn’t the case for Thompson Monday night, before the opening game of the 2017 Bay Bridge Series. Klay stepped up to the mound, reared and fired a bullet at Marcus Semien.

Maybe Klay got some tips from brother Trayce, an outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
