Which two 2026 Hall of Fame inductees threw ceremonial first pitches before the MLB Field of Dreams Game?

Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent threw the ceremonial first pitches before the 2026 MLB at Field of Dreams Game.

Both men were members of the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame class and took part in the pregame festivities in Dyersville. Their ceremonial pitches connected the current Phillies-Twins matchup with baseball’s broader historical record, which was a central theme of the Field of Dreams event.

Jones was celebrated for his elite defensive center-field play and power, while Kent was recognized for his career as an offensive-minded second baseman. Their Hall of Fame recognition made the 2026 ceremony especially timely, because they were newly elected inductees rather than only long-established members attending as guests.

They were not the only Hall of Famers present. Twenty-six Hall of Famers appeared during the ceremony, including many former stars from different eras. The question asks specifically about the two 2026 inductees who threw the ceremonial pitches, not every Hall of Famer in attendance.
