During the summer months, when there is no NBA to be watched, many of us turn to watching baseball.

But the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin can go one step further and just roll by the local MLB batting practice to take a few swings himself.

In a video posted by MLB on Monday, the NBA player showed off his baseball skills with the Los Angeles Dodgers during a recent batting practice. To be honest, he's not terrible.

Granted, it took him a few swings to get started, and Griffin acknowledged that he didn't look "great," but standing next to Justin Turner, who does really?

Blake takes a few swings.

Blake's brother, Taylor, apparently. The other Griffin hit two home runs. Nevertheless, Blake almost made it to the fences at least once with this hit:

We won't expect any MJ-like moves to the majors from Griffin, but at least we know he'd kill it on a Little League diamond.
