The Dodgers star on Monday became the 11th first baseman in MLB history to record 20 steals and 20 homers in a season.
J.D. Martinez hits two home runs as the Dodgers pummel Detroit Tigers starter Eduardo Rodriguez, who nixed a trade to L.A. earlier this summer., an accomplished base-stealer himself during his playing days, said jokingly after the game, “but it’s still quite the milestone.”
“This is one thing I never thought I’d do in my career, so it was pretty cool,” said Freeman, who topped his previous high of 13 stolen bases in 2022. “A lot of credit has to go to [first-base coach] Clayton McCullough. So much work goes into it before games, picking up patterns on pitchers, situations of when to go and not to go.
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman beats the tag of Tigers second baseman Andy Ibáñez to steal second base on Monday. But Freeman, who takes pride in being the most well-rounded player he can be, has improved his baserunning over the years, as evidenced by his success rate on stolen bases this season and his team-leading 124 runs.“He’s scored [124] runs this year, and that speaks to the baserunning and the ability to get on base, steal second, go first to third — he’s as good as I’ve ever seen,” Roberts said. “The object of the game is to score more runs than the other team.
