Bobby Witt Jr. has been insanely hot for the Kansas City Royals out of the All-Star break, and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is taking notice.
As the Kansas City Chiefs get set to try to win their third Super Bowl in a row this year, quarterback Patrick Mahomes is paying attention to the baseball field while at training camp.
Mahomes, who is a former baseball player and is a part-owner of the Kansas City Royals, posted on "X" about the recent, historic stretch from Royals star Bobby Witt Jr.Mahomes also re-posted a video that the Royals put out calling Witt Jr. the "hottest bat in the universe."The Royals certainly aren't wrong, as Witt Jr. has 12 hits in the four games since the All-Star break. He also came just a single shy of the cycle in Monday's win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Patrick was also a baseball prospect and was drafted in the 2014 draft by the Detroit Tigers but elected to go to college and play football at Texas Tech. As a high schooler, he possessed a low-90s fastball as well as a curve that scouts said generated some swings and misses. He also had a changeup, though rarely threw it.Seems like he made the right choice sticking with football though.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Videos on baseball also posted to YouTube.
