3×3 Olympic medalist Hailey Van Lith captured attention after throwing out the first pitch at the Seattle Mariners game over the weekend.

In the wake of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, several athletes have been honored at various sporting events across the United States, and Van Lith finally got her chance on Sunday.

Weeks after Van Lith helped capture a bronze medal for Team USA in the Olympic 3×3 basketball event, she was in Seattle, impressing fans with the first pitch.

Van Lith did not disappoint as she delivered a great pitch to Mariners star Julio Rodriguez.

Fans were not only impressed with Van Lith’s pitch but also loved what she wore, as she has always been praised for her looks.

 

Van Lith has been in the spotlight for years. She first emerged as a force at the point guard position while at Louisville.

Following a few years there, she would shock everybody and take her talents to the stacked LSU Tigers, who were coming off a National Title victory.

She would only spend one year with the Tigers as Van Lith averaged 11.6 points per game and shot a career-low 38% from the field, per ESPN.
