Oakland Athletics ace Sonny Gray put himself on the Cy Young radar with an outstanding 2015 campaign, and his newfound fame has earned him a brief appearance in an upcoming Comcast XFINITY ad to be aired on Super Bowl Sunday.
The righty, who is no stranger to the grand stage after starring in several musicals in high school, whiffs an opposing batter with some high heat towards the end of the commercial.
The 26-year-old hasn't shied away from the cameras since reaching the majors, previously taking to the streets of New York City to prank innocent bystanders in a recent segment for the MLB Fan Cave.
Gray finished third in American League Cy Young voting last year after compiling a 14-7 record with a 2.73 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 31 starts.
