American swimming superstar and Olympic hero Katie Ledecky threw out a great opening pitch at the Washington Nationals game Wednesday night.
Ledecky won five medals, four of which were gold, in the 2016 summer Olympics in Rio, Brazil. She handed her medals over to Nationals star Bryce Harper to hold as she took the mound. (SLIDESHOW: This Nearly Naked Model Is All The Motivation You Need For The Olympics)
