The Mahomes father and son duo share a good bond. Patrick Mahomes Sr., a former MLB player, opened up about the times when he used to teach Mahomes baseball. He also opened up about his aspirations of Mahomes, becoming an MLB player when he grows up. “He was always the best player on his baseball team, was an unbelievable shortstop, and he threw 97mph on the mound, so I always thought he was gonna be a baseball player,” he said.
