Victor Wembanyama, the 7-foot-plus French player expected to be taken by San Antonio with the first pick in the NBA draft this week, threw out a wild ceremonial first pitch before the New
York Yankees played the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. He wore a pinstriped jersey with “New York” across the chest rather than the traditional interlocking “NY,” and he had Joe
DiMaggio’s No. 5 on the back. Standing on the rubber, he fired the ball in the dirt, well wide of the plate to the first-base side. The 19-year-old spent this past season with Metropolitans
92 in the French league. The NBA lists his height as 7-4. He has said 7-3 and some internet sites show 7-5. The NBA draft is Thursday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
