The Big K.R.I.T. was an outfielder, catcher, and pitcher.
Rapper The Big K.R.I.T. is well known for hits like The Vent, which helped him earn a spot on the 2011 XXL Freshman Class list with Meek Mill, Mac Miller, and Lil Twist. But music isn’t all that he’s known for.
K.R.I.T. was a baseball star during his time at Meridian High. Jason Jordan interviewed K.R.I.T. in 2014, and you can read a text of that interview here. In the piece, K.R.I.T talks about his playing days–how he once pitched a no-hitter in a state championship game–and his desire to play for the North Carolina Tarheels had he stayed with the game.
