Fresh off pushing the top-seeded Washington Capitals to their limit in the first round of the NHL playoffs, members of the Toronto Maple Leafs including Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, James van Riemsdyk, and Frederik Andersen decided to take some batting practice at Rogers Centre.
While a number of the Leafs looked comfortable at the dish, Matthews may have been the most impressive, with the left-handed hitting superstar crushing a ball into the right-field stands.
Not too bad of a swing there, Mr. Matthews.
