Dodgers News: Freddie Freeman Named National League Player of the Week After Hot Stretch
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ veteran first baseman, Freddie Freeman, has been named the National League Player of the Week following a scorching performance at the plate that helped propel the Dodgers during a key stretch of the season.
Freeman posted a blistering .500 batting average over the past week, going 14-for-28 in seven games. His offensive outburst included three home runs, 12 runs batted in, and a 1.500 OPS, showcasing his all-around dominance at the plate. Whether it was clutch hitting with runners in scoring position or timely home runs to shift momentum, Freeman was the heartbeat of the Dodgers’ offense.
Highlighting the end of the week was Freeman’s standout performance on Mother’s Day, where he went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate, including a home run.
This accolade marks another milestone in Freeman’s impressive campaign. He remains one of the league’s most consistent and feared hitters. His ability to hit to all fields, maintain plate discipline, and come through in big moments is a significant reason why the Dodgers continue to sit atop the National League standings.
With the calendar inching closer to the summer months, Freeman heating up is a promising sign for a Dodgers lineup that’s looking to find its rhythm and string together a strong run. If this past week is any indication, the former MVP is ready to carry the load when it matters most.
Freeman and the Dodgers will aim to build on this momentum as they continue their homestand this week. The Dodgers will have an off day today and face the Sacramento Athletics tomorrow at 7:10 p.m. PDT.
