Patrick Mahomes Endorses Player for 2025 MLB All-Star<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Count Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes among those who want Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia to be part of the 2025 MLB All-Star at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, this coming July.<\/p>\n

The three-time Super Bowl champion showed his support for the Venezuelan by sharing a post made by the Royals, asking fans online to vote for Garcia.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Garcia also had a big night on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, as he went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBIs. His three-run home run in the third inning erased a two-run Kansas City deficit and put the Royals in front for good, as they came away with a 6-3 victory.<\/p>\n

With Mahomes’ endorsement, the hope is that Garcia will get more people to help him become an All-Star in his fifth season in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

Garcia has been one of the Royals’ top contributors this season, as he leads all qualified Kansas Royals hitters with a .318 batting average<\/a> to go with eight home runs and 36 RBIs.<\/p>\n

His .877 OPS is also better than fellow Royals stars Bobby Witt’s and Vinnie Pasquantino’s.<\/p>\n

Even though he’s found superstardom by playing football, Mahomes has baseball close to his heart.<\/p>\n

His father, Pat Mahomes, played in the majors as a pitcher. Additionally, the three-time NFL Most Valuable Player spent time as a pitcher for the Texas Tech Red Raiders and was even drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 2014 MLB draft.<\/p>\n
