Matthews No Stranger to the Ball Diamond
The All-Star Centreman is no stranger to the ball diamond, playing baseball at a high level during his youth. His "Papi" nickname has its origins in David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox, who is also the inspiration behind the number 34.
You can see him flexing his arm strength in a throw to Mitch Marner from shortstop to first base.
