Kim Taehyung stunned crowds with a perfect first pitch at Dodger Stadium on August 25. The BTS member threw a clean left-handed strike for the ceremonial start — and fans say it might be the best celeb pitch ever.
The moment shocked both the live audience and online viewers. Baseball fans joked teams should sign him after watching the smooth throw.
TikTok caught the pitch live, with the Dodgers posting clips celebrating the moment:

A behind-the-scenes video released on September 10 by BANGTANTV showed how seriously Kim Taehyung took the gig. He practiced for days, worried about throwing a bad pitch, and even rehearsed an apology in case it went wrong.
His hard work paid off with a flawless pitch applauded by fans. Some joked it was so good it felt like he could go pro.
Before throwing, Kim Taehyung jokingly worried aloud about messing up.
“If I throw a ground ball, I’ll take off my glove, start apologizing, get down on my knees, apologize again, and never step foot in another Dodgers game ever again.”
— Kim Taehyung
Another Dodgers BTS clip shows him chatting with players, getting pitching tips, and snapping photos together.
In the video, Kim Taehyung shared a cool fact — he first watched the Dodgers back in 2014 during BTS’s American Hustle Life time in LA.
Fans can’t stop talking about this memorable night at Dodger Stadium.
