Josh Hutcherson - First Pitch

Josh Hutcherson threw out the first pitch at the Reds game on Saturday. WCPO talked to Josh right before he threw the ball.

“It’s kind of intimidating,” he said in an interview with 9 News. “I’ve been practicing. I practiced last night. I just threw a few pitches now. I’m feeling pretty good about it. I just want to get it across the plate and not bounce it. That’s all I want to do.”
He said he watched the video of Mayor Mallory’s infamous 2007 pitch a few nights ago to build up his confidence.
Unfortunately, the odds were not ever in his favor on Saturday night, and Hutcherson bounced the pitch before it hit home plate where Phillips was waiting.

Aw!! You can check out the video of his pitch:

He also talked about The Hunger Games.

 “The fact that I got to make [The Hunger Games] was enough for me, but on top of that, everybody went and saw it and that’s all I could ever ask for,” Hutcherson said. “That’s pretty incredible.”“They’re writing the script right now, and just trying to figure out where they’re going to shoot it, and get the script nailed down first,” he said. “It’s probably some time this fall we’ll start shooting it.”
He’s trying not to let fame go to his head.
“I think that I keep myself surrounded by the same people,” he said. “Always have. My family and friends. I don’t think it’s going to change too much.”
