Patrick Mahomes, then 19 years old, was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB Draft. However, he committed to playing football at Texas Tech University instead. Nonetheless, one of the scouts in the Tigers organization said that Mahomes was one of the best athletes he’s ever seen in Texas. He even threw a no-hitter in High School, striking out 16 batters. The Tigers also tweeted as a joke that they were the first one to draft Mahomes after his Super Bowl win against the 49ers.
