Patrick Mahomes’ chances of turning pro in football or baseball were already well known, but his efforts in the 2010 Junior League Baseball World Series have resurfaced online.
At age 14, Mahomes played shortstop for the Tyler, Texas-based team that faced Taipei in the finals. He is 6 feet 1 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds, and his favorite movie is ‘Remember the Titans.’
In his third at-bat of the night, Mahomes takes the third pitch of the at-bat, a curveball that hung in the air for too long, and hits it down the middle of the infield for a hit.
It was the first run of the game for the American champions, but it did not start a comeback, as it was Texas’ only run scored in the game, and they ultimately lost 9–1 to Taipei.
It was a blast from the past, as Mamhomes’ flirtation with the Kansas City Royals has continued since he was drafted by the neighboring Chiefs in 2017.
