Minnesota governor Tim Walz -- now Kamala Harris's running mate for the 2024 United States presidential election -- has some sports connections.

He was once a very successful high school football coach, and if you're one for first pitches by people in public office, we've got a couple from Walz to share from the past few years that he's been governor.

He tossed a nice-looking strike at at a Minnesota Twins game back in 2019 and then did the same at a St. Paul Saints game in 2023. Solid form, no notes to give.

Here are the videos with the proof of his pitch prowess:

‪I had an awesome time throwing out the first pitch at the Twins game in honor of Armed Forces Appreciation Day. Let’s play ball! ⚾️
