Knight on throwing first pitch: ‘Glad I didn’t bounce it’

According to the Detroit Free Press, former Kentucky player Brandon Knight was satisfied with his effort in throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before the Detroit Tigers’ game against Arizona Friday night.

Knight, who was drafted by the Detroit Pistons Thursday night, threw the first pitch from the mound to Andy Dirks.

“It feels great to be here in Detroit and be recognized by the fans,” Knight said. “Throwing out the first pitch was a lot of fun, and I’m glad I didn’t bounce it.”
