C.J. Stroud said it best. “Football players want to be basketball players, basketball players want to be football players and we all want to be baseball players.” It’s America’s past time.
Ironically, baseball players probably want to be golfers because most of them, at least most Braves players, hit the links quite often. Matt Olson, Collin McHugh, Michael Harris II, and Austin Riley are all notable lovers of golf.
Most recently, Atlanta’s third baseman called out Bryson DeChambeau for his 205 mph ball speed, showing that he could hit 204 mph. It just goes to show how truly elite of athletes these guys are, and Austin Riley made the MLB’s Pro Bowl, along with J.T. Realmuto as the National League’s athlete.
