Jong-yeol 'Saebyeolbe' Park, a member of the Overwatch League team New York Excelsior, will be throwing the opening pitch at a Major League Baseball game. It's a first for an eSports player.
It was announced this week that the team would be visiting New York's Citi Field for a meet-and-greet and autograph signing at the game on April 2, teasing a "very special surprise" that fans should "stick around to witness."
The game will see the New York Mets face off against Philadelphia Phillies, and is a great opportunity for a cross-promotion for the Wilpon family, which owns both the New York Mets and the New York Excelsior team.
