Simu Liu didn’t save all his moves for the Marvel box-office hit “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.”

The star spared some superhero acrobatics to throw out a memorable ceremonial first pitch before the Giants-Dodgers game on Sunday in San Francisco.

Liu threw a strike and leaped into a backflip.

Liu said previously that he performed a backflip plus “Black Widow”-style pose in his “Shang-Chi” audition.

The performer was also following in the footsteps of a certain sports star who has spiced up first pitches with gymnastics.
