Answering the headline question directly: Patrick Mahomes was not drafted in the MLB. Though his father, Pat Mahomes Sr., played several seasons as a professional baseball pitcher, Patrick himself never pursued a professional baseball career, focusing instead on football where he excelled at Texas Tech and later the Kansas City Chiefs. This fact is often recalled because the two sports are closely linked in his family.
If you want to dig deeper or share the story, start with a quick wiki search, jot down the dates of his father’s baseball stint, and keep a note of Mahomes’ football stats for a balanced view. Adding a photo of his dad in a baseball uniform to your notes makes the trivia even more memorable.
