Sunday was supposed to be the conclusion of the first series of the 2020 MLB regular season. That's not the case, as the coronavirus pandemic suspended play until further notice, forcing athletes (like the rest of us) into self-quarantine. We've seen MLB stars like Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman play wiffleball with his young son, taking his three-year-old deep. Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler endured the opposite, however, as his son, Jorley, was the one who sent the ball out of their backyard.

Just like his old man. From the bat flip to kissing the sky once touching home plate, Jorley's got everything down pat.

We can only imagine that Soler showed no mercy towards his son once it was his turn to bat, but the ball would go even further, just like one of the 48 homers he hit last season.

Just like Jorge, Jorley has baseball in his blood.
