Do you think she can she pitch wearing all that gold?
Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky will throw the ceremonial first pitch at a Washington Nationals game this week.
Newly returned from Rio, the 19-year-old Bethesda, Maryland, resident will kick off the game Wednesday night against the Baltimore Orioles, the Nationals announced Tuesday afternoon.
Ledecky won four gold medals in Rio, smashed her own world record in the 400-meter freestyle and broke an Olympic record in the 800m freestyle during the preliminary heats.
