Stephen A. Smith is one of the most controversial figures in sports journalism. He is known for his scorching hot takes on various sports. While he primarily focuses on basketball and football, whenever he attempts to cover other sports, his takes often provoke anger among fans and generate controversy. Recently, his commentary on the decline of baseball led to baseball fans booing him when he entered Yankee Stadium to perform the first pitch during a Yankees-Blue Jays game.

Stephen A. Smith was met with a hostile crowd when he stepped onto the mound to throw the ceremonial first pitch. To put it mildly, it wasn’t a great throw. Although it wasn’t the worst ever, Smith’s pitch didn’t even reach home plate; instead, it bounced 10 feet in front of it, taking one bounce before landing in the catcher’s glove. Fans took this opportunity to roast Stephen A. and booed him for his failed pitch. Additionally, he faced criticism for his recent comment about baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani, in which he argued that Ohtani didn’t deserve a $500 million contract because the Angels hadn’t won anything with him.

Smith tried to defend his failed pitch by jokingly stating that “it was a changeup.” Lately, Stephen A. has come under fire for various reasons, including allegations that he played a role in Max Kellerman‘s departure from ESPN, as Kellerman had challenged Stephen A. during their time on First Take.

Given such a failed attempt, Stephen A should seriously consider covering baseball, considering it’s one of the most popular sports and include prominent baseball figures on First Take.

First Take is marketed as a national sports show, yet it only covers two out of the four major American sports, leaving hockey and baseball behind. It would also be informative for fans to explore new sports and engage with them.
