Freddie Freeman, a first baseman with the Dodgers, has the most doubles in the major league so far this year. His previous career high, which he previously surpassed (last season, when he led the majors), was 47. He acquired his 53rd two-bagger of 2023 on Friday:

Let’s try that one. It was a speed double with hustle. With a career-high 17 stolen bases this season, Freeman has been showing off his skill and modest wheels on the bases. We’re here for the doubles, though. As was already said, that one set a record for the Dodgers franchise, which has a rich history.

The following are the current Dodgers doubles records for a season:

First, Freeman, 53, 2023Johnny Frederick, 52, born in 19293. Shawn Green (age 49)4. Wes Parker, 47, 1970; 5. Freeman, 47; 6. Babe Herman, 48; 7.

Overall, Freeman’s performance implies that he has a chance to accomplish something truly exceptional.

Freeman is now matched for the 33rd-most doubles in MLB history with his 53 totals. Only 24 individual player seasons have had 55 doubles, 10 have had 58, and six have had 60 or more. Freeman is on track to finish with 61 doubles after 140 games with 53 doubles.

Now, it’s possible that the Dodgers will win the division and have nothing left to play for in the last week or two of the season. If so, they’ll probably rest Freeman for a few games or even longer.No MLB player has reached 60 doubles since Joe Medwick had 64 and Charlie Gehringer had 60 in 1936, so it’s still worth monitoring.
