But things took a turn for the worse when she held on to the ball a bit too long. You know what happened next — hit play on the video below to watch Carly Rae Jepsen throw what’s now being called the “worst first pitch ever”:

She was, of course, embarrassed by it immediately, especially since the announcer said that she was “throwing strike after strike” before the actual pitch.
