Freddie Freeman vs. Yankees: From Uncertain Future to World Series MVP Contender
The Dodgers' first baseman has been on a tear since returning from injury.
Freddie Freeman is one of the best hitters in baseball. That shouldn't come as a surprise; he’s a six-time All-Star, a two-time Silver Slugger, and a Gold Glove winner. But Freeman’s been even better since returning from the injured list, slashing .375/.476/.688 with four home runs and 13 RBIs in 14 games
Freeman had a huge series against the New York Yankees last week, going 5-for-14 with a home run and five RBIs. He also made several key defensive plays, including a diving catch in the eighth inning of Game 2.
Freeman's performance has been a huge boost for the Dodgers, who have won nine of their last 12 games. The Dodgers are now just two games behind in the National League West, and they are in a good position to make a run at the World Series.
Freeman's injury was a big blow to the Dodgers, but he's back now and playing better than ever.
Freeman was injured in late May when he fouled a ball off his foot. He missed about a month of action, and the Dodgers struggled without him. They went 11-15 in his absence, and they fell out of first place in the NL West.
But Freeman is back now, and he's playing better than ever. He's hitting for a high average, getting on base, and hitting for power. He's also been a key part of the Dodgers' defense, making several spectacular plays at first base.
The Dodgers are a much better team with Freeman in the lineup. They're a legitimate contender to win the World Series, and Freeman is a big reason why.
Freeman is a key part of the Dodgers' success, and he's a favorite to win the World Series MVP award.
Freeman is one of the best players in baseball, and he's playing his best baseball right now. He's a key part of the Dodgers' success, and he's a favorite to win the World Series MVP award.
If the Dodgers win the World Series, Freeman will be a big reason why. He's a great hitter, a good fielder, and a leader in the clubhouse. He's everything you want in a franchise player.
