TEMPE — Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love showed off his arm with Monday’s ceremonial first pitch ahead of the Diamondbacks’ game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Carson Beck, known thrower of things and 2026 third-rounder, provided an in-depth scouting report on Wednesday when evaluating his fellow rookie’s pitch.

“It didn’t look the best, but he did throw a strike, which is important,” Beck said. “I thought it was great. He threw a strike and that’s what we want.”
The only problem with Love’s throw? He didn’t do it from the mound, a common occurrence for ceremonial first pitches.
That’s not going to fly if Beck ever gets a shot.
“Do they normally scoot up a little bit (in front of the mound)? They don’t let you throw it from the mound? They might have to make an exception and let me throw it from the mound if I ever do one,” Beck added.
Your move, D-backs.

Someone needs to ask Beck to describe how he gagged in the National Championship game with just 40 seconds left, 1st & 10, just inside the Indiana 40, when he had Malachi Toney wide open for the winning TD, where likely Toney would have scored untouched?
Not only did Beck gag and throw the ball way short, allowing one DB to get back into the play who was earlier burnt like toast by Toney on the play, Beck's level of panic was so completely, he threw vertical, giving away the advantage Toney had built for him to allow him to make a much easier throw towards the open, unprotected sideline, that had ZERO risk of being intercepted. Right before the pass was released Toney evidenced just how much faster than the Indiana DB he was by pulling away even further.
Ask Beck to explain how he ignored instructions his coaches had given him literally thousands of times about not throwing short, about throwing to the open space Toney had given him on the sideline, about protecting the football?
Ask Beck to explain how he missed a throw he had made hundreds of times in practice, and completed over 99% of the time, where he listened to his coaches and didn't throw short, where he protected the ball, putting in the correct place where only Toney could catch it?
Ask Beck how it felt to choke his brains out on the biggest play of his college career which singlehandedly ended his team's hopes of winning a National Championship, and if his neck has recovered from the rope burns?
Ask Beck to respond to all the Georgia players and fans who watched that game, saw that play, who all replied in a chorus: TOLD YOU SO!
