Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is one of the best athletes on the planet.
Not only can Allen throw the ball a mile and run over NFL-sized linebackers, but he can also handle a baseball bat pretty well.
Allen took some swings on Monday ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays' home game against the New York Yankees and went yard several times.
According to the Blue Jays' official Twitter account, Allen hit four home runs while taking batting practice on Monday.
It's not a surprise that Allen knows his way around the diamond — he was an accomplished high school baseball player. Specifically, Allen was a great pitcher, but I'm guessing he probably hit a few home runs, too.
From The Buffalo Fanatics: Josh Allen had 21 appearances as a pitcher during his high school career. Of those appearances, 13 of them were starts and he recorded seven wins. He pitched for over 68 innings and had an ERA (earned run average) of 2.05. This means that he allowed a little over two runs per nine innings pitched, an impressive mark for a high school pitcher. In total, he had 76 strikeouts and 84 batters faced. Meaning that he was able to strike out most of the batters he pitched against. Also, Allen threw around 90 mph in high school!
