Rob Gronkowski throws first pitch to Mike Trout at Angels game (Video)

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski threw the ceremonial first pitch at Thursday night's Los Angeles Angels exhibition game in Anaheim, with Mike Trout playing the role of catcher.

Trout is ramping up for the regular season, which starts in just a few days, while Gronkowski continues to enjoy his offseason as a member of the Super Bowl XLIX Champions.

UPDATE: We now have an angle of Gronk's first pitch from behind the plate, and it was a solid strike.

We were expecting a spike, but we got a strike! @RobGronkowski bringing the heat to @Trouty20 in tonight's 1st pitch. pic.twitter.com/p7iVjy2TSd
