Patrick Mahomes’ father recalls the first time he knew his son’s arm was ridiculous

Patrick Mahomes Sr., former MLB baseball player and father to Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes, spent some time talking to our friends at 610 Sports Radio’s The Drive with Carrington Harrison and Brad Fanning Tuesday afternoon.

Mahomes Sr. was in Kansas City to both see his son, Patrick II, and participate in the USA Baseball Breakthrough Series at the Urban Youth Academy.

Mahomes Sr. played on the MLB rosters of six teams before eventually retiring from the game of baseball in 2009. He spoke to The Drive about what drove Patrick II to choose to pursue professional football over baseball, which he played at Texas Tech.
