LOOK: JJ Watt mocks Zach Ertz's first pitch at Philadelphia Phillies game

While he is one of the best tight ends in football pitching may not be his forte

While JJ Watt recently wrapped up what can only be considered a stellar and Hall-of-Fame caliber career, he is now on to new endeavors.

One of his new hobbies includes being quite the comic on social media, as he took to Twitter recently to take a playful jab at former Stanford tight end and current Arizona Cardinal, Zach Ertz. Watt's now former teammate, along with his wife Julie Ertz who is on the United States Women's national soccer team both threw out the first pitch at a recent Philadelphia Phillies game. While Julie's sport is played predominantly with her feet, she was able to deliver a strike while Zach on the other hand was unable to get the ball across the plate. 

Watt didn't shy away from letting the tight end hear how bad his throw was, and while we have seen athletes play multiple sports in the past it is evident that Zach Ertz doesn't have a future on the mound.

On the gridiron, Ertz recorded 47 catches for 406 yards and four touchdowns this past season. On the pitch, Julie Ertz is preparing for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup which takes place in July.
