He will be the latest in a long list of Buckeye athletes and coaches to take the mound at the Great American Ballpark for the ceremonial honor. Football coach Urban Meyer threw out the first pitch for the Reds just months after winning the 2014 National Championship, and players like Braxton Miller and Curtis Samuel have enjoyed the honor as well.
