Baker Mayfield capped off his stint at Brewers Spring Training by coaching first base
It's been an eventful week at Brewers Spring Training, as former No. 1 overall Draft pick and Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been hanging out around camp with his friend and workout partner Christian Yelich.

But Mayfield's experience at Spring Training was taken up a notch on Saturday. During the Brewers' split-squad game against the Rockies, the coaching staff decided to give Mayfield the opportunity to coach first base -- and work on waving Milwaukee baserunners to second:
The #Brewers must have been a little short-handed for the split-squad today because we got one heck of a fill-in to coach 1st base! #CactusCrew pic.twitter.com/smfN11rF76

If the Brewers make another deep postseason run in 2019, Mayfield may be a bit busy with the football season to be coaching first base. But who's to say he can't fill in for the first half of the regular season? He looks like a natural!
