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.

If he does, we get to see his patented home run celebration.
