Patrick Mahomes’ Old Friend Shares Never Before Seen Newspaper Snap of Chiefs Star Dominating in Baseball 14 Years Ago

Patrick Mahomes was born into the family of an MLB player. He has played baseball since he was a child. Even though he opted to play football, he was still quite good at baseball.

Recently, a long-time friend of Mahomes named Jake Parker shared a picture of the two from 14 years ago on an Instagram story. They were both playing for Tyler East and did well during that game.

The picture shared by his friend refreshed the memory of Mahomes. They are on different paths in life now but have remained close to each other. Patrick Mahomes was pretty good at baseball. During the 2010 Junior League World Series, he played as a shortstop. The Mahomes team was the runner-up in the tournament.

Later in his high school days, he used to play as a pitcher as well. It’s fair to say Mahomes could do it all on the diamond as a 2-way player. The Detroit Tigers even drafted him in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB Draft. Mahomes instead opted to play football for Texas Tech and did well there.

Patrick Mahomes will have an opportunity to show the world that he can succeed without Tyreek Hill. The journey ahead will be tough, but Mahomes loves to take on challenges like these.
