Dodgers awestruck by first pitch from South Korean actress in viral moment

Freddie Freeman had himself a day Sunday during a Dodgers exhibition game in South Korea, but it was the initial toss by South Korean actress Jeon Jong-seo that really captivated audiences — the Los Angeles dugout, specifically.

Before the Dodgers’ Seoul Series game against the Kiwoom Heroes got underway at the Gocheok Sky Dome, the 29-year-old film star stood on the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

As Jeon readied to hurl the ball toward home plate, several members of the Dodgers appeared to take in the moment off the field, as captured on the broadcast.
