San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 43rd round of the MLB Draft in 2009 as a pitcher. From the looks of things, Kaepernick was one of those really good hitting pitchers.

Over the weekend, Kaepernick participated in Joe Haden's celebrity softball game where he was the star on the field. He hit four home runs in a pre-game home run derby and three more during the actual game.

Below are some highlights of the event as well as video of one of Kaepernick's home runs.
