Donovan Mitchell Throws Baseball Pass Crosscourt To Joe Ingles For Three-Pointer

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell looked like a Major League pitcher when he threw a crosscourt pass that set up a three-pointer by Joe Ingles.

The Jazz hosted the Bucks at Vivint Arena on Friday, February 12.

With 1:59 to go in the second quarter, Mitchell caught a behind the back pass from Bojan Bogdanovic before hooking a pass from one side of the arc to Ingles in the opposite corner.

Ingles caught the ball and sent a 23-foot jumper shot sailing through the cylinder.
