Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to pitch at Jamsil mound? Doosan Bears club says 'no information received'

Speculation is mounting that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang might throw the ceremonial first pitch at a Doosan Bears professional baseball game this weekend. However, the club has stated that they have not received any official notification regarding such an event. Reports suggest Huang will visit South Korea after concluding his participation in Nvidia's annual AI conference, GTC Taipei 2026, held in Taiwan from May 1st to 4th. During his visit, he is expected to meet with LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin to discuss expanding cooperation, particularly in the field of physical AI. A private information leak (jirasi) has circulated, suggesting Huang would attend the Doosan Bears vs. Kiwoom Heroes regular season game at Jamsil Stadium on May 7th as a ceremonial pitcher. Huang, known to be a baseball fan, has previously thrown first pitches at games in the American Major League Baseball and the Taiwanese CPBL in 2024. The Doosan Bears have already invited Sergeant Kim Tae-hyun, the second son of the late Lieutenant Colonel Kim Do-hyun of the Black Eagles who died in the line of duty and is currently serving in an Air Force missile defense unit, as the ceremonial pitcher for Memorial Day on May 6th. The identities of the pitchers for May 5th and 7th remain undecided.
