Katie Ledecky, the U.S. Olympic swimmer who won five medals (four gold, one silver) at the Rio games, threw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals game on Wednesday. She did a pretty good job, and her accuracy was on point.
President Obama has also thrown out the first pitch at a Washington Nationals game. Unlike Ledecky, the president pitched very poorly and embarrassed the nation. He appears to not know how to throw a baseball correctly.
According to science, Ledecky’s toss was way better than Obama’s effort, but not nearly as impressive as George W. Bush’s epic first pitch at Yankee Stadium after the 9/11 terror attacks.

Obama was also put to shame by a 92-year-old World War II veteran, who tossed an epic heater before a Seattle Mariners game earlier this year.
