Carlos Correa held a mattress over his head during a Houston charity event #MannequinChallenge
The Astros have a bit of a prodigy in young
He also does a lot of great charity work, and on Saturday his efforts in the Houston area resulted in an on-the-spot opportunity for another MLB-related #MannequinChallenge involving himself and a few other folks.
Since Correa is a strong man (listed at 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds), though, he did his part in the hopefully viral clip by literally balancing a mattress on his shoulder the entire time. Mark Berman, the sports director for KRIV-TV in Houston, captured the whole thing:

That's some fine commitment to the bit, and Correa pulled it off seamlessly -- hardly a surprise given what he does on the field.
All in a day's work for one of Houston's most charitable baseball stars ...
Many thanks to @houcharity and its volunteers for continuing to reach out to our communities and help our children. #RestlessForTheCause
