Michael Kopech vs. Patrick Mahomes
Texas-native and Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes was a “pitcher [who] also plays football,” according to high school rival and fellow Texan Michael Kopech. The two began playing baseball together in their youth and pitched against each other into their teenage years.
In a March 2014 match-up Mahomes threw a no-hitter with 16 strikeouts, while Kopech struck out 12 and reached 98mph on the radar gun.
