It appears six-time All-Star outfielder Jose Bautista can pitch.

The 39-year-old showed off his slider and sinker during an impromptu bullpen session filmed by former teammate Marcus Stroman, who called Bautista's pitches "MLB-ready."

Bautista, who last appeared in the majors in 2018, reportedly spent the winter working out as a pitcher in the hopes of returning as a two-way player.

The Toronto Blue Jays legend has played in 1,653 career games and led MLB in home runs during 2010 and 2011. He has never pitched in the big leagues.
