Don't be fooled by that smile, Charlie is a baseball destroyer

There are a lot of young, talented sluggers in this year's Division Series matchups, from Mookie Betts to Ronald Acuña Jr. to Fernando Tatís Jr.

But there is one name that nobody is really talking about.

He's younger than all of them, young enough to be their son, young enough to be Nelson Cruz's grandson. Grainy videos have surfaced of him across social media in the past, depicting his prowess at the plate and home run celebrations. And now, he's arrived at the big stage, in the NLDS in Houston -- and he seems to be trying to smash dingers right on through the bubble MLB built for him.

Yes, that's Charlie Freeman, Freddie and Chelsea's son. At four years old, he's likely not allowed on Atlanta's roster, but if the Braves and Dodgers advance -- can we at least get a matchup between Charlie Freeman and vaunted ace Charley Kershaw?
