Watch: Former Notre Dame football star Cole Kmet throw out 1st pitch for the Chicago Cubs

It’s not just Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman that gets to throw out first pitches , former Irish star tight end Cole Kmet has had his chances too.

On Wednesday, the current Chicago Bears player got the opportunity to throw out the first pitch for the Chicago Cubs. As we all know, Kmet loves baseball, having played some in South Bend before giving it up and focusing on football.

Since he has that background, it was not surprising to see Kmet throw a very solid pitch, even if he may not have picked up a baseball in a very long time.

We hope to see Kmet hit some home runs, I mean score touchdowns this fall for the Bears. If he does, we get to see his patented home run celebration.
