Watch: Mitch Marner throws out 1st pitch at Jays game ... in jorts
Toronto Maple Leafs super rookie Mitch Marner was on hand Tuesday at Rogers Centre to throw out the first pitch prior to the contest between the Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays.
Although it was a hot day in The Six, his selection of shorts had some people chiming in on social media.
Arm like a squirt gun. I do like the Jorts, though. https://t.co/xYBWWQh96X

Marner played it cool and took the high road with his response to his Leafs teammate's chirp.
Focusing on keeping it out of the dirt, I'll work on speed. Sorry Brian https://t.co/KiwwNOuzsy

No word yet on whether Marner's best bud Auston Matthews will follow suit and cop his own pair of jorts.
