Freddie Freeman, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ first baseman, has been on fire in the World Series against the New York Yankees. Despite spraining his ankle earlier in the postseason, Freeman has been dominating on the field, hitting four home runs in the first four games of the series.
His most recent home run in Game 4 gave the Dodgers an early lead, showcasing his power and influence on the team’s performance. The streak of home runs started with a walk-off grand slam in Game 1, followed by solo shots in Game 2, and two-run homers in Games 3 and 4. This impressive performance has not only made Freeman the first player ever to hit a home run in the first four games of a World Series but has also set a new record with a six-game World Series home run streak dating back to his time with the Atlanta Braves in 2021.
In addition to his home runs, Freeman has been a key player in other aspects of the game, with a triple, a walk, and zero strikeouts in the first four games. His offensive contributions have been crucial to the Dodgers’ success, as they are now one win away from clinching the 2024 World Series title.
Despite the challenges of his ankle injury, Freeman’s resilience and determination have been evident throughout the postseason. The four days off between the NLCS and the World Series seemed to have rejuvenated him, as he has significantly improved his performance at the plate. His ability to play through the injury and deliver exceptional results speaks to his talent and dedication to the game.
Heading into Game 5, Freeman has the opportunity to further solidify his case for World Series MVP and leave a lasting impact on the series. His remarkable performance has not only impressed fans and teammates but has also elevated him to the status of the best player on the field. As the Dodgers and Yankees face off once again, all eyes will be on Freeman as he continues to showcase his exceptional skills and lead his team to victory.
