Freeman’s breakout has put his 2023 stats ahead of his 2022 production, when he finished fourth in National League MVP voting.
LOS ANGELES ― Freddie Freeman extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a double on Monday against the Washington Nationals. It was his 17th double this month, breaking a 93-year-old franchise record. The Dodgers’ first baseman has reached base in every game this month, and seen his batting average rise from .292 on May 1 to .335 entering Monday.
The Orange County native is also in position to become the first Dodger to capture a Player of the Month Award since Cody Bellinger in April 2019.“What’s interesting with Freddie is, he’s just as consistent a player on both sides of the ball that I’ve ever seen,” Dave Roberts said. “To be honest I can’t tell when he’s on a hot streak. When he’s struggling and not getting hits, it’s the same to me. The at-bat quality, the quality of contact, is similar. That’s a really good tell.
Although they sit on opposite sides of the Dodgers’ clubhouse at home, the hope is that Freeman’s influence can rub off on Outman. The previous franchise record for doubles in a month belonged to Babe Herman, who hit 16 in July 1930 for the Brooklyn Dodgers.MEMORIAL DAY MEMORIES
