Freddie Freeman stressed about looking short next to Aaron Judge during MLB All-Star Game

Freddie Freeman doesn’t often find himself looking up at anybody. But the Braves first baseman, who stands at nearly 6-foot-5, knew it could happen during the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night.

During the top of the second inning, Fox Sports’ Joe Buck and John Smoltz welcomed Freeman onto their broadcast as one of the mic’d up players. When Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes was pitching to Aaron Judge, Freeman started to panic.

“Aw geez, if he gets to first base, he is going to make me look so short. Aw geez. Ugh,” Freeman said. “I am just under 6’5″ and I am about to look really, really small here in a second.
