Her pitch may not have wowed scouts, but the crowd embraced the energy and tribute behind it. Social media lit up, not just because of the throw itself, but because fans realized Adams delivered it with her left hand.
“Kay a lefty,” one user commented, while another joked, “Best lefty change up in the business.” While the pitch might join the list of infamous first throws alongside 50 Cent and Taylor Lewan, Adams owned the moment with grace and humor.
