Freddie Freeman, a Californian-born Canadian, first took the field for the Atlanta Braves in 2010. After earning National League MVP honors in 2020 and helping the Braves to a World Series victory in 2021, he returned to California as a member of the LA Dodgers after signing a lucrative six-year, $162 million contract. The 2021 Babe Ruth Award recipient recently made an appearance at his alma mater and more recently at a driving range, where he astounded all his fans with his impressive form and prodigious power hitting.

As reported by the official Twitter account of the Los Angeles Dodgers, 33-year-old Freeman, who is currently training for his participation in the 2023 World Baseball Classic representing Canada, was recently spotted effortlessly sending the ball soaring to great distances at a driving range.
