Every member of the Dodgers bullpen was put on notice Monday night when K-Pop star V from the blockbuster boy band BTS threw a surprisingly epic first pitch at Los Angeles's game vs. the Reds.

The left-handed pitch—which was deemed a strike—sent stan Twitter (as it is still colloquially known) into a frenzy, as surprised Dodgers fans, meanwhile, called on the front office to sign him.

MLB's initial post has an eye-watering 72,000 retweets. That's the power of the BTS Army, baby.

Take a look at that reaction below:

A lefty that can throw strikes. Could've used him in the pen a few weeks ago. https://t.co/b6rfDmwSw0

Never any doubt. If there’s one thing about these men, they are good at everything. https://t.co/Ey7vLVXpxT

Billy, this is V from BTS. He’s a relief pitcher. He is one of the most undervalued players in the game. His only defect is he’s smooth like butter. https://t.co/XuwAPaKrYa
