Los Angeles FC forward Son Heung-min threw the ceremonial first pitch before the MLB game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The Korean football star took the mound in front of Dodgers fans and Japanese baseball star Shohei Ohtani. Son could not meet Dodgers infielder Kim Hye-seong, who did not play in Wednesday's game.

Son's ceremonial first pitch followed after BTS member V's at the Dodgers' game on Monday.

Son, 33, moved to LAFC in the MLS this summer after a decade-long stint with Tottenham Hotspur. Los Angeles is now a city of two high-profile Korean athletes: LAFC's Son and the Dodgers' Kim.
