Gar Ryness, the dude known affectionately as Batting Stance Guy, is, as you can probably infer, renowned for his spot-on impressions of ballplayers getting ready to hit, but the YouTube star decided to take his talents to the mound in a new video published Friday.

Inspired by Olympic phenom Katie Ledecky's impressive performance Wednesday at Nationals Park, Ryness opted to recreate some of the most memorable ceremonial first pitches (well, memorable in the sense that they were just truly awful).

Remember that laughable effort from 50 Cent at Citi Field? Carly Rae Jepsen's foibles in Tampa Bay? The commander-in-chief's high-and-outside offering in the nation's capital in 2010? Well, now you do.
