Rumors that Kate Upton and Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander are dating have been running rampant after a series of photos of them together.

Busted Coverage posted the images allegedly featuring the supermodel getting cozy with one of the best pitchers in all of Major League Baseball.

The Detroit Free Press claims a woman named Amanda Waynick, who was celebrating her 25th birthday at the bar, asked Verlander for a photo.

He declined, politely … but she later spotted him with Kate Upton in the background of several photos she took of herself and some friends.

Woo hoo! Hottest possible couple ever!

Of course, Verlander has been linked to his longtime girlfriend Emily Yuen, so this is all just speculation and may be much ado about nothing.

Or it may be the starting American League pitcher in the 2012 MLB All-Star Game and the all-star creator of the Cat Daddy video hitting it.

The two met on the set of a commercial for MLB 2K12, so they are definitely acquainted, but beyond that, only time and celebrity gossip will tell.

For what it’s worth, Verlander was LIT UP in the All-Star Game last night, yielding five runs in a single inning. Wonder if his mind was on something else …
