Ovechkin has thrown the first pitch before. He did it first for the Nats back in 2006, then for the Os in 2011, then again in the Summer of Ovi known as 2018, when Ovechkin threw it juuuuuust a little bit high.
The Washington Nationals and the LA Dodgers are tied 1-1 in the NLDS. Game three is Sunday evening.
The Capitals are currently using a Nationals helmet for their internal player-of-the-game award.
