SI cover model Kate Upton lends her good looks and apparent video game expertise to help a quartet of major leaguers learn the ropes in an ad for the new game MLB 2K12.
Titled “Finger Mechanics with Kate Upton,” the ad shows the curvaceous blonde teaching the baseball stars to an unhittable circle changeup … virtually of course.
“Take your thumb, go up and then around, and that’s a circle change,” says Upton, who graces the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s swimsuit edition, to her audience.
Best. Pitching. Coach. Ever.
The ballplayers getting their learn on from the 19-year-old stunner are Detroit’s Justin Verlander, Tampa’s David Price, Cincinnati’s Jay Bruce and L.A.’s C.J. Wilson.
MLB 2K12 comes out on March 6, and Upton’s lesson may pay off: A user who pitches a perfect game will be entered into a contest for a chance to win $1 million.
Date with Kate not included.
