Kansas City Chiefs Star Patrick Mahomes Had Awesome Post on ‘X’ About Bobby Witt Jr.
As the Kansas City Chiefs get set to try to win their third Super Bowl in a row this year, quarterback Patrick Mahomes is paying attention to the baseball field while at training camp.
Mahomes, who is a former baseball player and is a part-owner of the Kansas City Royals, posted on “X” about the recent, historic stretch from Royals star Bobby Witt Jr.
Man is going crazy right now! 🔥🔥 @BwittJr

Mahomes also re-posted a video that the Royals put out calling Witt Jr. the “hottest bat in the universe.”

The Royals certainly aren’t wrong, as Witt Jr. has 12 hits in the four games since the All-Star break. He also came just a single shy of the cycle in Monday’s win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Mahomes has deep ties to baseball, having purchased a partial ownership stake in the Royals in 2020. His father, Pat Mahomes, also pitched in more than 300 MLB games, getting to the NLCS with the New York Mets in 1999.
Patrick was also a baseball prospect and was drafted in the 2014 draft by the Detroit Tigers but elected to go to college and play football at Texas Tech.
An MLB.com article on Mahomes’s baseball skillset discussed more of his baseball-playing background.
As a high schooler, he possessed a low-90s fastball as well as a curve that scouts said generated some swings and misses. He also had a changeup, though rarely threw it.
He did play in three games as a freshman on the Texas Tech baseball team.
Seems like he made the right choice sticking with football though.

Chiefs expected to announce stadium move from Missouri to Kansas
The NFL’s Christmas Day lineup is lacking serious holiday magic this year
Christmas Day 2025 is already looking like a bust for the NFL due to injuries and teams already eliminated from playoff contention.
The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to receive the green light to build a new stadium in Kansas, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports, with the official announcement expected later Dec. 22 following a meeting of a key legislative committee.
The person was granted anonymity because the news was not yet official.
The eight-person Legislative Coordinating Council (LCC) will vote later Dec. 22, with Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly teasing a “special announcement” for Dec. 22 as well.
The Chiefs have been negotiating with both the governments of Missouri and Kansas regarding their future home. Kansas City has played its home games at Arrowhead Stadium, located on the outskirts of Kansas City, Missouri, since 1972.
The exact location of the new stadium is unknown but the land will be in Wyandotte County, not far from the Kansas Speedway and where Major League Soccer’s Sporting KC is headquartered. The new stadium will be ready for the 2031 season since the team’s current lease at Arrowhead Stadium expires after 2030.
The venue will have a roof to make it a year-round hosting site, with designs on the stadium hosting the biggest events in sports, such as the Final Four or Super Bowl.
According to the Kansas City Star, the state will provide up to 70% of the funding for the stadium. The projected total price tag of the project is $3 billion.
The Chiefs are also moving their training facility to Olathe, Kansas – another suburb of Kansas City. That project does not currently have a timeline.
