Michael Phelps recently made his feelings known about Baltimore Orioles' Cedric Mullins' stellar skills on the field. The American former swimmer is frequently seen cheering for the MLB team.
Phelps is among the most formidable swimmers, as he has had a flourishing career in the sport.

The 40-year-old retired from the sport at 31 after featuring at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Phelps reshared a video shared by MLB on his Instagram story, where the Orioles' player, Mullins, was seen executing a stunning drive. Impressed with his skill, Phelps dropped a reaction by penning a short note, praising his moves, that read:

In September last year, Michael Phelps visited the Orioles team to support and cheer them up before their showdown against the Colorado Rockies. Donning an Orioles jersey, he said that he grew up as a fan of the team and has spent a lot of time with the organization.
When Michael Phelps opened up about playing golf alongside Michael Jordan
Outside of his swimming heroics and MLB endeavors, Michael Phelps is also an avid golfer. He has displayed his golf skills in multiple pro-am events and played the sport alongside the basketball legend, Michael Jordan. In an interview with Golf.com in 2024, Phelps made his feelings known about playing golf with Jordan at the NBA legend's charity event at Aria and praised his skills.
Stating that Jordan played twice daily, Phelps revealed that he and Mario Lemieux still defeated the former.
"He was playing like twice a day. I don’t know if he’s still playing as much as he used to. I remember I came out for a practice round the day before and he was like 72-69. And [Mario] Lemieux and I went out and beat him the next day. But it was crazy. His game is just so good. And his competitiveness comes out," Michael Phelps said.
"I watched him get out of a fairway bunker on 18 at Shadow Creek from like 190-something, and then he drained like a 30-footer. I was like, “Dude, you sh***ing me?” I mean, he’s got great hands, and he obviously puts a ton of time in. I’m not talking any s**t to him. I didn’t bet him. [Laughs.] But he’s just a great human. And the time that I’ve been with him has been really fun and special for me," he added.
Michael Phelps' most recent gesture of support for the Baltimore Orioles was in March 2025, when he cheered for them on social media after they won against the Toronto Blue Jays at the MLB season opener.
