WATCH – Lainey Wilson threw out the first pitch at the Colorado Rockies game

Aug 21, 2025, 3:50 PM | Updated: 3:50 pm

Lainey Wilson added another milestone to her wild year as she got to throw out a first pitch!

She was just in Denver on her Whirlwind World Tour, and was invited to throw out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of the Colorado Rockies game.

And of course, she was dressed in her trademark bell bottoms. She even got a custom Rockies jersey with “Lainey” stitched across the back.

She thanked her fiancé, former NFL quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges, for showing her how to grip the ball and practice her throw.

And Lainey stepped up to the mound and delivered a pretty good throw. MLB even shared the video. Her full pitcher’s stance and wind-up was a nice touch. Lainey and “Coach Duck” did a great job.

Oh, and maybe she was good luck for the team that has been historically bad. The team not only won that game against the Diamondbacks, but have now won three out of the last four since Lainey was there.

Here’s the pitch…
