"The cage been different"- Fred Kerley shares an update as he engages in another sport after the Paris Olympics

Fred Kerley lauded baseball as a sport, weeks after he concluded his 2024 season by competing at the Brussels Diamond League. He also wrapped up his Paris Olympics campaign weeks ago with one medal.

Kerley competed in the 100m and 400m relay events at the 2024 Summer Games. The 29-year-old bagged a bronze medal in the 100m dash by recording 9.81s and was trounced by Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson, who secured first and second place, respectively. This campaign was then followed by the Lausanne Diamond League, where he competed in the 200m dash and claimed third place by recording a time of 19.86s.

Days after the bronze medal win in the 200m dash, Kerley competed in the last meet of the season, the Brussels Diamond League. Here, he ran in the 100m discipline, where he again claimed third position by posting 10.01s.

Weeks after concluding his 2024 track and field season, Fred Kerley was seen talking about baseball on his X account. He highlighted the change he felt while playing baseball and wrote:

"The cage been different love the energy⚾"

Not just this, the American sprinter also tried his hands at boxing after concluding his season.
