Diamondbacks starter Madison Bumgarner is one of baseball's most accomplished pitchers, though he appears to be far from a one-trick pony.
Bumgarner apparently moonlights as a rodeo roper when he is not on the mound, competing in events under the alias, "Mason Saunders," according to The Athletic's Andrew Baggarly and Zach Buchanan.
Baggarly and Buchanan revealed Bumgarner's rodeo roping on Sunday night, with a story that includes a photo of Bumgarner alongside North Carolina roping pro Jaxson Tucker. The duo reportedly won $26,560 at a competition at the Rancho Rio Arena in Wickenburg, Ariz in December, and Bumgarner confirmed his hobby and photo on Sunday night.
