Carlos Martinez plays washers - A Hunt and Peck

Carlos Martinez is an athlete. We have seen him make dazzling plays on the field, he can throw a ball 100 mph, and he has a bit of speed, too. How this translates to his ability to throw washers, well, we cannot be too sure. What we do know is that it looks like everyone had a blast.
