QB Patrick Mahomes takes playful jab at Royals infielder’s incredible bat speed
In the heart of Kansas City, two sports icons have captured the adoration of fans like never before. Patrick Mahomes, the powerhouse quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Bobby Witt Jr., the rising star infielder of the Kansas City Royals, have taken the city’s sports scene by storm. In a heartwarming gesture, Mahomes recently took a moment to pay tribute to his fellow hometown athlete, Witt Jr., playfully challenging the incredible 141mph bat speed that sets Witt Jr. apart.

As Witt Jr. continues to shine, even amidst the Royals‘ struggles, the fervent supporters of Kansas City are undeterred. With the city still basking in the glow of a recent Super Bowl victory and the reassuring presence of Patrick Mahomes as their long-term quarterback, Witt Jr.’s achievements provide an extra layer of excitement.
