Pat Mahomes

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #419 prospect in 2014 draft
  Mahomes' father of the same name spent parts of 11 seasons in the major leagues and was still pitching in independent ball until 2009. His son has a bigger, more physical frame at a listed 6-foot-2, 214 pounds, and has shown a low-90s fastball on the mound while also showcasing excellent arm strength when he plays right field. Some evaluators like him better as a hitter who is an average runner with plus raw power from a raw offensive approach. Mahomes appears to prefer football, however, with good reason. He's a quarterback committed to Texas Tech who threw for nearly 8,500 yards the last two seasons with 96 touchdown passes and just 15 interceptions.
