Freddie Freeman is staying sharp for the MLB season by crushing homers off his son

At this point, it’s unclear when we’ll get to see the next MLB game played. The league — and every other American sports league — delayed its season amid the global coronavirus outbreak.

With this move coming towards the final stretch of spring training, MLB players are left to get ready for a season that they don’t know when exactly it will take place.

But at least Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is doing his part to stay fresh for the season, and he has his son to help.

Freeman’s wife, Chelsea, posted a video of Freddie and their 3-year-old son, Charlie, playing some backyard baseball on Sunday. Let’s just say that Freddie didn’t go easy on his son.

Charlie left an off-speed pitch up high for Freddie, and the four-time All-Star absolutely crushed the ball into the woods.

Just look at Charlie’s reaction — it was too good.

And sure, this wasn’t exactly 98 mph heat from Charlie, but it’ll have to work in these trying times.
