Korean film star Jeon Jong-Seo threw out the first pitch before an exhibition game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Korean Baseball Organization’s Kiwoom Heroes in Seoul on Sunday and Dodgers players (understandably) couldn’t keep their eyes off of her.
Freddie Freeman, Chris Taylor, Tyler Glasnow and everybody else in the dugout were transfixed to Jong-Seo as she prepared to toss out the ceremonial first pitch.
Jeon jeong seo, first ceremonial pitch.
Boys are so happy😂😂

Jong-Seo, sporting tight leggings that Fanatics couldn’t even dream of manufacturing, gracefully tossed the pitch and came impressively close to throwing a strike (way closer than 50 Cent or Fauci, anyway.)
Pitcher Landon Knack posed with Soo afterward and had a massive smile across his face as cameras snapped a picture of the pair on the mound. (RELATED: Shohei Ohtani Hits Oppo Taco Bomb In Dodgers Debut)
In fact, the entire Dodgers dugout was smiling ear-to-ear as they took in Korea’s fastest-rising star.
Hell, I don’t blame them. This woman is downright gorgeous.
The Dodgers are in Seoul to kick off the MLB season, as they’ll take on the San Diego Padres in MLB’s first regular season game of 2024 on Wednesday, March 20th as part of MLB’s Seoul Series. The event is part of MLB’s World Tour Initiative, “a historic slate of games that will bring MLB teams and players to the league’s global fan base,” according to MLB.com.
While I fully support the league’s embrace of the global nature of the game, the only thing they need to do to keep me coming back for more is to keep inviting Jong-Seo to throw out the first pitch. I’d be happy to chart reactions from all 30 teams to the “Ballerina” star’s form. Hubba Hubba.
