Back in 2006, when he played baseball at Pitman High School in Turlock, Calif., San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick could hit 94 MPH on the radar gun. Fast forward three years to 2009, and that’s why the Chicago Cubs still drafted Kaepernick in the 43rd round despite the fact that he hadn’t pitched in three years.

Fast forward four years to Friday night, when Kaepernick threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Giants-Marlins game at AT&T Park, and we found out Kaepernick still can bring the heat.

For comparison’s sake (and just to throw a little fuel on the 49ers-Seahawks rivalry), Russell Wilson, who also played baseball at North Carolina State, managed just 75 on the gun earlier this month at a Mariners game.

Kaepernick 1, Wilson 0 — and the NFL season hasn’t even started.
