Freddie Freeman is going to be a dad

The coupled married in 2014. The two are selling their Roswell home.

In a Twitter post, Chelsea lobbed a ceramic ball filled with colored powder to reveal the baby's gender. Freeman takes a swing and joy fills the ballfield. (We won't ruin it for you, click video below.)

Wish 'em well.
