When I threw out the first pitch at a Norfolk Tides game, I probably should’ve stood a little closer to home plate in order to have a shot at getting the ball there LOL

but this toddler wouldn’t think about taking a short cut!

Little Nolan was about to throw out the first pitch at the Reds-Cubs game on Friday and the staff tried to let him stand closer but he didn’t want any help

Nolan straight up refused to throw out the first pitch until he was standing on the mound. He turned and briefly looked around — as if to tell everyone, “See! This is where I’m supposed to be!” — and then threw his pitch.

Nolan knows a pitcher needs to be on the mound. pic.twitter.com/fbft5E3ND8
