Zach Cozart, a former All-Star shortstop who played for the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Angels, expressed support for former President Trump on Thursday hours before he was set to make his speech at the Republican National Convention.

Cozart posted a photo of himself on the golf course wearing a gray hat with the word "Trump" sprawled across the front. The letters appeared to be upside down and included the stars and stripes of the American flag stitched into the letters.

The former infielder wrote earlier in the week that he couldn’t wait to vote for Trump on Election Day.

"I dunno bout yall but I can’t wait to vote for Trump… I’ve honestly never seen the party as united as now… they tried to kill our President … least we can do is VOTE!!" he wrote.

Trump will take the stage later Thursday and officially accept the Republican nomination for the third straight time. He’s also making his first speech since he was wounded in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
