WATCH: LAFC’s Son Heung-Min throws ceremonial first pitch at Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Cincinnati Reds game at Dodger Stadium

Son Heung-Min swapped the pitch for the mound on Wednesday night, taking center stage at Dodger Stadium to deliver the ceremonial first pitch before the Dodgers’ clash with the Cincinnati Reds. Wearing a Dodgers jersey with his LAFC No. 7 on the back, paired with jeans, Son delivered a clean strike to pitcher Blake Snell, acting as catcher.

The LAFC newcomer has taken Major League Soccer by storm since his arrival in Los Angeles. In only three appearances, the former Tottenham Hotspur captain has already scored his first goal - against FC Dallas - and added two assists, instantly winning over the Black and Gold supporters.

Son’s appearance at Dodger Stadium further highlighted his growing popularity in the city, as fans greeted him with loud cheers. For LAFC, his impact stretches beyond the field, helping elevate the club’s profile in one of the most competitive sports markets in the United States.

Shohei Ohtani took the mound as the Dodgers’ starting pitcher against Cincinnati, making Dodger Stadium the stage for two Asian superstars on the same night. With Ohtani headlining for the Dodgers and Son representing LAFC, fans were treated to a rare showcase of global icons under the same lights in Los Angeles.

Next up, Steve Cherundolo’s LAFC will host San Diego FC on Sunday in what promises to be an electrifying MLS clash.
