Joe Burrow Put On A Show While Hitting A Bunch Of Dingers At Reds Batting Practice

It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that many people who get paid to play a sport for a living once excelled in other pastimes thanks to the sheer amount of athleticism you typically need to have to end up in that particular line of work.

Earlier this year, the Bills QB proved he can still hold his own on the diamond when he got the chance to take some swings at batting practice ahead of a Toronto Blue Jays game and sent a number of balls into the outfield bleachers at Rogers Centre.

However, he’s got some stiff competition in the form of Joe Burrow.
