Freddie Freeman, the great first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is having an incredible 2024 World Series.
Dodgers: In Game 4, Freddie Freeman destroyed an all-time World Series record.
The outstanding infielder is more concerned with shutting out the New York Yankees in Game 5 than anything else, although Freeman thought the accomplishment was “pretty great” to notch and he wants to continue to be a hot bat, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. Even though he is rightfully focused on capturing the Commissioner’s Trophy as soon as possible, his accomplishment is noteworthy. Cassavell shared this anecdote, which highlights how unique the accomplishment is:
“Freeman is the first player to homer in the first four games of the Fall Classic,” Cassavell wrote. “Only George Springer of Houston had done so in Games 4–7 of a single World Series.”
Freeman may create more MLB history on his path to being the MVP of the World Series.
Freeman may become the first player to homer in five consecutive games of the same World Series if he hits another home ball in the Dodgers’ possible World Series decider on Wednesday night. This would solidify his claim to be voted World Series MVP.
In addition to his four home runs against the Yankees thus far, the California native has an incredible.313/.353/1.188 slash line, a 1.540 OPS, and a massive 10 RBIs. With four games played, he has been the Dodgers’ most influential player. Unless starting pitcher Walker Buehler or reigning NLCS MVP Tommy Edman have a spectacular game, Freeman should have the top individual World Series award and an incredible MLB record to match.
