Freddie Freeman named World Series MVP: Dodgers star hits four home runs in five games on route to title


new york – Thanks to a historic home run performance, Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddy Freeman was named the 2024 World Series MVP after Wednesday's Game 5 win over the New York Yankees. In Game 4, Freeman became the first player to hit a home run in each of the first four games of the World Series,

Freeman's signature moment was his walk-off grand slam in Game 1, the first walk-off grand slam in World Series history.

Freeman's Game 4 home run gave him a six-game home run streak in the World Series during his time with the Atlanta Braves in 2021. This is the longest World Series home run streak in history, breaking a tie with George Springer (2017). -19). He added a crucial two-run single in the fifth inning on Wednesday as the Dodgers won by five runs to win the title-clinching Game 5.

Before Game 4, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Freeman, “He brings desire. He's got gratitude.” “The desire to play every day, to know it's a job and your job is to play and you have to play. Maximize your value. And that's tough. That's about the team, I've already said it, if you “All things considered, he's my favorite player. Like what he does for the culture, the organization, the team.”

All told, Freeman went 6 for 20 (.300) with one triple, four homers, 12 RBI and just one strikeout in the World Series. He did this despite playing in the NLDS and NLCS due to a right ankle sprain that was causing him to limp badly. Freeman hit .219/.242/.219 in those two rounds and was out of the lineup entirely for NLDS Game 4 (the elimination game) and NLCS Game 6 (the potential pennant-clincher).

The Dodgers won the pennant last Sunday, giving Freeman four days to rest his ankle before the World Series began last Friday. He liked those four days very much. Freeman was performing well on the bases and in the field during the World Series, playing every inning of every game.

The 35-year-old Freeman slashed .282/.378/.476 with 35 doubles and 22 home runs during the regular season. This was the third season of his six-year, $162 million contract.
