This might not be the best omen.
Dolphins QB Malik Willis had one of worst first pitches of all time at Marlins game originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . If a ceremonial first pitch can be a bad omen for a quarterback, the one that Malik Willis threw out at Friday's Miami Marlins game was a terrible omen.
The new Miami Dolphins QB, signed in free agency from the Green Bay Packers , didn't just miss the strike zone. He missed everything. Give Willis just a tiny bit of credit from throwing off the mound, all the way from the rubber, 60 feet and 6 inches away from home plate.
Don't give him credit for anything else. It would be hard to throw a worse pitch than this: Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis threw out the first pitch ahead of tonight’s game against the Phillies. #Marlins #FinsUp pic.
