With a swing like that, you can imagine he has an arm to match. Of course he threw a strike with his first pitch.

When Kris Bryant visited the Bulls before a game in March, LaVine had said he had some baseball skills. He wasn’t lying.

LaVine took a big step forward this season averaging 23.7 points per game in his second year with the Bulls.
