Comrie plays catch with Blue Jays pitcher on ice

Pitchers and catchers are reporting for duty in … Winnipeg?

Or at least Winnipeg Jets goalie Eric Comrie is, along with Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Erik Swanson.

On Saturday, the Jets posted a video of the two professional athletes tossing a baseball on the ice at Canadian Life Centre, with Comrie playing catcher dressed in his full goalie gear and Swanson rocking a No. 17 Adam Lowry jersey.

After a few warmup tosses (and a passed ball), Comrie asked Swanson to throw his pitch with the most movement. Swanson threw him the splitter, which bounced on the ice, but Comrie had an impressive pick to keep the ball in his glove.

No radar on the ice there, but Comrie certainly handled the heat.
