She has her own bobblehead doll, was featured on a Topps baseball card and now her pitching prowess could win her an ESPY award.

Sister Mary Jo Sobieck, a theology teacher at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, is up for the ESPN award in the category of “best viral sports moment” for a video of her throwing out a ceremonial first pitch before a game in August 2018 between the White Sox and Kansas City Royals.

On Tuesday, dozens of students and school cheerleaders took part in a send-off for Sobieck, who left for Los Angeles for the awards program.

Showing off her trademark move of popping a baseball into the air off her right biceps, Sobieck was cheered and applauded outside Marian as she got into a car for a flight out of O’Hare International Airport, with a police escort taking her part of the way.

Other nominees in her category are 7-year-old Florida sprinter Rudolph “Blaze” Ingram, gymnast Katelyn Ohashi and Texas A&M track and field athlete Infinate Tucker.

Voting to determine winners in each of the categories continues through Wednesday at espn.com/espys. The awards will be shown at 7 p.m. Wednesday on ABC.

Sobieck, speaking to a throng of media gathered outside the school, said she is taking the nomination and hoopla surrounding it in stride.

“I don’t feel any different, which kind of assures me I have to be myself,” she said.

Sobieck said that while she is competitive, “I don’t have any expectations” about the award.

“That’s what has allowed me to remain calm about it,” she said.

The pitch that spawned a viral video came during Marian Catholic High School Night at Guaranteed Rate Field.

She wore a Marian shirt over her habit with the No. 60 on the back in honor of Marian’s 60th year as a school.

On the pitcher’s mound, Sobieck pointed toward the heavens to honor her late mother, Louise, then bounced the ball off her right biceps before throwing a perfect strike to Lucas Giolito, who was crouched behind home plate.

Sobieck, 49 at the time, had played sports in school, including softball and volleyball, but told reporters Tuesday she hadn’t thrown a baseball in a while even though “I knew I had the skill.”

She said her “hope was just to get it over the plate,” and that “I did the bicep bump to give me some momentum.”

The pitch begat the baseball card this year and the bobblehead, along with scores of media requests for interviews.

“I’m inspired by a lot of things that have happened since the pitch,” Sobieck said, noting it “has brought hope and inspiration” for others.

“Every moment has been a wonderful experience and something to grow and reflect on,” she said.

Acknowledging the dozens of students sending her off, many of them at Marian for summer school classes, and all of the school’s student body, Sobieck said “I don’t go alone” to California.

“Every single one of them is in my pocket,” she said. “We’re all going to win.”

Susan Avant Holloway, whose daughter, Julianna, is preparing to begin her senior year at the school, was at the send-off and was on hand for last August’s game.

Her daughter is a member of the school’s band, which performed the national anthem at Guaranteed Rate Field before the game.

The Riverdale resident said the experience was “awesome” and that “we’re praying” Sobieck, who many students call “Sister MoJo,” wins an ESPY.

“She’s so positive and the kids love her,” Avant Holloway said.

Evelyn Santillan, of Harvey, graduated from Marian in June and returned to the school to cheer on Sobieck.

She said she “brings a lot of enthusiasm” into the classroom, but “she’s kind of like our mom too.”

Marian officials haven’t yet put together any plans for a celebration should Sobieck win the ESPY, but “if it happens Wednesday night we’ll have a little time to scramble,” Cecily Fultz, a school spokeswoman, said.

Any big acknowledgment might take place at the annual back-to-school assembly, she said.
