Though he's not listed on the official website, Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado may very well be the newest member of Team Jordan.
After missing last season with a knee injury, Machado returned to the diamond this year in a variety of Air Jordan Player Exclusive cleats. Along with the Air Jordan 12, he's been wearing special make-ups of the Air Jordan 6 in Baltimore's most recent stretch of games. Pictured above are both cleated and turf variations of the model in four different colorways.
One of the brightest young stars in baseball, Machado was an All-Star, Gold Glove winner and Platinum Glove winner in 2013. Would he be a good addition to Jordan Brand?
