Julian Casablancas launches his first pitch at the New York Mets game: watch

Strokes and Voidz frontman Julian Casablancas pitched the first pitch in today’s New York Mets game against the Atlanta Braves. If you’d like to know what this pitch looked like, watch the video below. Also find a photo of Casablancas alongside Strokes guitar technician Paul Vassallo, who served as receiver.

You may also notice that the broadcaster refers to Casablancas as the “old” lead singer of The Strokes. A representative for Julian Casablancas confirmed to Pitchfork that this was just a mistake, so don’t panic.

He also gave an interview during the game about his first Mets game. “Whoopsie,” Casablancas said as Dominic Smith poorly played a line reader. Casablancas, dressed in a Darryl Strawberry jersey, then became embarrassed: “I didn’t actually calculate that people were watching a baseball game, they probably don’t want to hear my BS”

The Strokes recently premiered a new song as they campaigned for New York City mayoral candidate Maya Wiley. Their last album dates from 2020 The new abnormal.
