He may not have thrown a strike, but everyone seems to agree that Naotaka Yokokawa’s first pitch scored a grand slam nonetheless.
The 28-year-old bodybuilder recently stepped up to the mound to open a game between the Orix Buffaloes and the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks.

To the tune of the Village People’s “Macho Man,” the bodybuilding champ gave the crowd something to cheer as he stripped down to nothing but a Speedo and sneakers.
So what if the ball went wildly off course?

“I love baseball,” Yokokawa wrote on Instagram, adding that the experience was “a dream come true.”

“It would have been cool to have a strike,” he also shared, “but it would be Naotaka Yokokawa who would end up with a big wild pitch.”

The sporting moment became an instant crowd favorite:
The last frame of this collage should be sculpted in marble. His form is obviously beautiful and it’s impressive to see how the musculature works.

Muscles don’t do it for me, but he is cute.
dbmcvey
I support this!

Uh oh, his pitch was way too high and on the outside left.

He looks great but it’s only because of the PEDs he’s on. I’m over juiced up muscle boys. We need to bring realism back. Too many guys are bigorexic and the body building “sport” isn’t possible if you don’t juice up a bit.

A few comments:
1. I think he is on steroids. You don’t get trapezoid muscularity like that naturally.
2. It looks discordant. He has the face of a pre-teen and a neck without proportionate muscular thickness.
However, to each his own.

I’m with Scotty…super mouth-watering, incredibly attractive (unlike most western guys his age) and a feast for the eyes!!!

Someone didn’t forget leg day. Damn. Pass me that, I’ll take him to go!

something ain’t right with that body.

Have him washed, and sent to my tent!

He did a completely nude segment on Japan’s version of ‘Candid Camera’. You can see it on the web.

He’s so bulky that it’s disgusting.

I’ve been hitting the gym the last few months and been a little obsessed. One thing I found out is how unhealthy having a competitive bodybuilding body actually is. I am very impressed with his physique, though. I wonder if he uses PEDs… Likely but I don’t know enough to say definitively. Anyway a build like that needs 5 or 10% more body fat to really flip my switch if you know what I mean. He is cute tho despite not being into to build sexually.

That is a whole lot of pretty!!!!!

doesn’t appear to be packing much elsewhere (where it really counts). Seen bigger bulges on women body builders.

um…. no cup, no butt, yeah no.
