When sides changed, Parker Meadows almost tied things up for the Tigers, sending the baseball soaring up in the sky at Comerica Park.
But Frazier, 32, pulled off a miraculous catch with a leap at the wall to deny Meadows a hit.
The Royals star then hurled the ball to first base to double Javier Baez off.
Mahomes, 28, seemingly couldn’t believe his eyes,
The Chiefs quarterback shared a clip of the unbelievable play on his X profile.
He captioned the post with three exploding head emojis.
Mahomes grew up a baseball fan courtesy of his father, who played 11 seasons in MLB as a reliever.
Before taking up football for good, the two-time NFL MVP played shortstop for Whitehouse High School.
He even participated in the 2010 Junior League World Series.
Mahomes recently expressed interest in joining the Royals, in which he owns a minority stake, for spring training.
“I’ve talked to the Royals,” said in an interview with Time.
“And if I can maybe go out to a spring training, I’m not opposed to that. I’ll get it approved by the Chiefs and everything like that.
“But maybe one of these years I go out there and see what I got. See if I can still hit the ball or pitch or whatever that is.
“Maybe not in the games, but I can at least practice with them.”
Royals general manager JJ Picollo then said his team would welcome Mahomes with open arms.
“We’d love to have him come. He’s welcome anytime,” Picollo told The Kansas City Star.
“He’s part owner of the team, he can do whatever he wants. It would be great. It’d be fun to have him around.
“I know that a couple of our guys have relationships with him. But if you wanted to come down, we’d love to have him come down.”
Following Picollo’s invitation, Mahomes even said he could “play baseball sometime” in the future.
