WATCH: Fred Kerley tries his hand at baseball after concluding 2024 season at Brussels Diamond League

Olympian Fred Kerley was recently seen trying his hands at a new sport rather than track and field days after the conclusion of the Paris Olympics. He concluded his 2024 season after competing at the Brussels Diamond League.

Kerley competed in the 100m and 4x100m relay dashes at the 2024 Olympics and won a total of one medal in the event. He clinched a bronze medal in the former by clocking 9.81s and was bested by Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson, who secured first and second place, respectively. Following this, he competed at the Lausanne Diamond League in the 200m dash, where he claimed third place by clocking a time of 19.86s.

After this, the 29-year-old competed in the last meet of his season, the Diamond League finals in Brussels, where he ran in the 100m event and again secured a third-place finish by recording a time of 10.01s. A few days later of concluding his season, the athlete tried his hand at boxing, and recently he was seen practicing baseball.

He shared a photo with his coach and a video of himself playing baseball on X. The post's caption carried:

"With the best hitting coach."

Here is the video of the sprinter trying his hands at baseball:

"I am only satisfied if I win and today I didn´t win, unfortunately. But it has been a great season so I really can´t complain. I felt good throughout the season which is important. The fans today were good and for now I will have some rest." said Fred Kerley

Along with competing in the 100m, Fred Kerley also competed in the 200m dash at the Brussels Diamond League; however, he fell short of attaining a podium finish in the event, securing fifth place. His fellow American athlete, Kenny Bednarek, won the event by clocking a time of 19.67s.
