Landon Donovan showed the Padres a highlight of his 1-year-old son's (adorable) pitching skills

Retired U.S. soccer star Landon Donovan knows a thing or two about talent. After all, he's considered one of, if not the best American men's soccer players to play the game.

Donovan, probably comfortably enjoying his Saturday night at home in Southern California, was watching the Padres' 2-1 win over the Giants and saw fit to throw his 1-year-old son, Talon, into the mix as potential bullpen help for the evening:

Looks like we had tonight covered. Talon would be an adorable addition to the bullpen though 🤗 https://t.co/Jh23ajCFeu — San Diego Padres (@Padres) April 9, 2017

We'd have to agree -- Talon Donovan does sound like a pretty great name for a shutdown reliever, doesn't it?
