A career .300 hitter, Freeman entered Monday’s game batting .333 for the season. His postseason resume is just as impressive; he has appeared in 62 playoff games and hit 14 home runs. Notably, during the Braves' 2021 championship run, Freeman hit five home runs in 16 postseason games. In last year’s playoffs, he added four more in 13 games.

Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman each drilled two-run homers as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the host Miami Marlins 7-4 on Monday night in the opener of a three-game series.

Freeman enters Thursday's action with exactly a .300 average. His batting average last season was .282, so he will have to improve on that number to reach the .300 average. Freeman's contract runs through 2027, so he will also need another deal to reach 3,000 hits.
