Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield showed off his swing while joining the Milwaukee Brewers at spring training in Phoenix on Friday.
Mayfield, who was there as a guest of reigning National League MVP Christian Yelich, said he grew up dreaming of playing baseball professionally.
"I was actually a decent player in high school," he told reporters. "Had a few offers out of high school to play baseball, but loved football too much. But baseball was always my first love and always will be ... Good arm, but I couldn't throw a strike. Never pitched, couldn't throw a strike."
