D-backs pitcher Archie Bradley slides in for a strike at Coyotes game

On the baseball diamond, Diamondbacks reliever Archie Bradley isn’t known for his slider.

In fact, Bradley’s four-seam fastball is his most effective pitch.

However, in a special guest appearance at the Arizona Coyotes game Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Bradley put both together — just not in the way you think.

While there for his friend’s bachelor party, Bradley took the ice and elected to join in on some human bowling fun.

Sitting on a mat, Bradley was sent sliding from one end of the ice to the other by a massive slingshot. Bradley used his speed to then sprawl out from the mat, knocking down all six pins for the strike.

In true comical form, Bradley stood up to cheers from the crowd.

While Bradley enjoyed the festivities Saturday night, his fun for the weekend isn’t quite over yet.

It was announced Thursday that he will join Arizona State’s 942 Crew in the Curtain of Distraction Sunday when the Sun Devils take on Vanderbilt at Wells Fargo Arena.

And if his act is anything similar to that of other stars who have joined the curtain, it will be something to look forward to.
