Stephen A. Smith mocked by Jay-Z, Derek Jeter, and Snoop Dogg after terrible first pitch at Yankee Stadium as the ESPN personality claims he threw a ‘breaking ball’

ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith couldn’t survive his poor attempt on a first pitch ahead of Thursday night’s game between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Smith’s pitch hit the ground and bounced into the glove of the Yankee player sitting behind the plate.

On Friday’s episode of “First Take,” Smith’s colleagues mocked him throughout the show for his failed attempt — with two New York celebrities joining in.

“I just got a text from Jay-Z, he just texted me an article, ‘Stephen A. says he’s disgusted by his first pitch,’ and then just attached sad, pathetic faces to it,” Smith said. my little man.’

Smith added that he received a call from former Yankees captain Derek Jeter, saying he “better not screw this up.”

After Stephen A.’s pitch went terribly, Jeter put a spin on the situation by telling the “First Take” host that he was “playing cricket.”

But Smith decided to go with the excuse that he threw his “breaking ball” instead, but later called it a knuckleball and then called it a changeup.

Not only that, but several celebrities from across the country called in to mock Stephen A., including TV host Steve Harvey.

Rapper Snoop Dogg recorded a video telling Smith, “You should be ashamed of that pitch.” There is not a single athletic bone in your body.”

Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky — a frequent “First Take” guest who is mocked for once running out of the back of the end zone during a game — recruited his entire family to prank his colleague.
