DOG MOUND — Move over, Air Bud. It's Decoy time.
Shohei Ohtani's Dutch Kooikerhondje dog named Decoy "threw out" the first pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday night against the Baltimore Orioles.
And by "throw," we mean he fetched the baseball in his mouth off the mound and delivered it to Ohtani at home plate.

The "cutest first pitch you've ever seen" came on Ohtani's bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium with Decoy also featured on the figurine, of course
Ohtani hit a lead-off homer in the first inning after Decoy's pitch and the Dodgers went on to win the game 6-4.
