Two-time winner is crediting his diverse athletic background for helping him develop into one of the NFL's most dangerous quarterbacks.The City Chiefs star and former pitcher told that both baseball and basketball helped him build a foundation that allowed him to have success in the NFL. Mahomes previously played point guard as a high schooler in Texas, while starring as a shortstop and a pitcher on the diamond.'So much of what I do is because I played baseball,' said Mahomes – the son and namesake of a former Major League relief pitcher. 'I was a shortstop, and out on the football field I'm doing exactly what I was doing as a shortstop. I'm hitting the first baseman in the chest. All those arm angles, throwing sidearm, underhand, against the body—all of that is stuff I did as a shortstop.'
