Japanese Model Ami Inamura throws 64 mph ceremonial first pitch!

There have been plenty of good pitches, but it’s not every day you see a ceremonial pitch thrown at a decent speed. At least, that was before Japanese model Ami Inamura, who recently threw a ceremonial first pitch at 65 mph before a Nippon Professional Baseball game.

During her years in junior high, she was a pitcher and first baseman in Japan’s senior league. She was also part of a recent Toyota commercial in which she showed her raw ability with a baseball bat. The commercial has gone viral and garnered over six million views on YouTube.

Ami Inamura (born January 13, 1996, in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese gravure idol, tarento, and sportscaster represented by Asai Kikaku.
