Shohei Ohtani continues to illuminate the baseball world with his historic performances since securing the largest contract ever seen in sports.
This season alone, Ohtani has not only surpassed Hideki Matsui for the highest number of home runs by a Japanese player but has also set a new team record for consecutive games with an RBI.
Achieving his 25th homer this season in Thursday’s game extended his RBI streak to an impressive ten matches. In addition, Ohtani’s extraordinary season has earned him nominations for two prestigious ESPY awards, showcasing him as a contender for Best MLB Player and Best Athlete in Men’s Sports.
However, Ohtani is not the lone star shining bright for the Dodgers this season.
Dave Roberts, in an interview with The Orange County Register, highlighted another key player’s contribution: “If it weren’t for the phenomenal season Shohei is having, Freddie [Freeman] would definitely be up for discussion as Player of the Week for the last several weeks. But, Shohei is just on a different level currently.”
Freddie Freeman has also been making waves in June, boasting a batting slash line of .333/.426/.643 including six home runs, 19 runs, and 17 RBIs.
His strikeout rate at a mere 12.9% and a weighted runs created plus (wRC+) of 192 are the best of his career for the month.
Freeman’s clutch performances have been pivotal for the Dodgers. On Wednesday, he gave the team a lead with a two-run double in the third inning, contributing to three runs that inning alone.
The day before, he hit a game-tying home run against the White Sox, also adding an RBI double to achieve his 2,000th career hit.
Notable among his June accomplishments was leading the Dodgers to a 4-3 comeback victory against the Rangers on June 14 with a crucial two-out RBI in the eighth inning.
Adding to his accolades, Freeman hit his 20th double of the season against the Kansas City Royals, continuing to add to his total, which currently ranks him sixth in MLB.
Despite being somewhat overshadowed by Ohtani’s historic achievements for Player of the Week honors, Freeman is almost guaranteed his eighth selection for the National League All-Star team.
Presently, he is running second in voting among National League first basemen, trailing only behind Bryce Harper of the Phillies.
