American singer and rapper Lizzo was on hand with an unusual first pitch before the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.
After being invited to take part in the traditional pregame ceremony at Dodger Stadium, Lizzo left fans baffled with her bizarre approach to pitching in LA.
She first took her place on the mound as Dodgers star Mookie Betts waited in preparation to take the catch, only to run forward in her huge white high heels while pretending to throw the ball twice.
The 37-year-old, who recently admitted to briefly using Ozempic to aid in her extreme weight loss transformation, then turned around and ran back to the mound, before finally producing a respectable pitch into Betts which bounced before finding his glove.
A number of fans were left confused by her two fake throws, with one writing on X: 'The longest, [most] pointless and stupidest first pitch ever'.
Another commented: 'So stupid. Stop trying to make it about you'.
While a third simply asked: 'What the f**k Is this?'

Others, however, saw the funny side of Lizzo's twist on pitching.
'Love it,' one fan commented.
Another joked about the Dodgers: 'We need her to start'.
'Still better than 50 cent,' a third said while referencing the rapper's infamous first pitch at a 2014 New York Mets game, widely considered one of the worst of all time.
Lizzo, who has confidently showed off her slimmer frame on social media of late, opened up about her Ozempic experiment during Thursday's episode of Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast.
The Grammy winner explained that she started to take the GLP-1 medication at the beginning of her weight loss journey in 2023, but soon came to the conclusion that it wouldn't help her in the long term.
'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.'
Lizzo then added, 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.'
