Freddie Freeman shows no mercy to the opposing pitchers he faces — even if the guy throwing on the mound is his 3-year-old son.
Chelsea Freeman posted a video of the Braves first baseman playing some backyard baseball with their son Charlie Sunday afternoon.
Freddie had no problem showing off his swing force and knocked a home run off Charlie. The 3-year-old had the best reaction to his dad going yicketty (as his Uncle Chipper Jones would say.)
Don’t worry, Charlie: Pitchers in the NL East have been in your shoes before and will be again whenever baseball returns.
While the MLB season is postponed, Freeman and the Braves are making sure to give back to the community.
The Freemans donated $125,000 to three local charities to help those impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Braves meanwhile have pledged $1 million toward its workers at Truist Park and the organization’s minor league stadiums.
