Why he matters right now

Freddie Freeman is 17 from 400 career home runs

He sits at 383 — one of the counting milestones the sport stops for.

Same case as last night, moved numbers: the career total went from 382 to 383 since August 31.

The case in 30 seconds

  • 383 career home runs, 17 from 400 career_watch ledger (live-verified before publication)
  • .306 5th in batting average at .306, 5th in hits at 155, 5th in doubles at 32 on MLB's season leaderboards MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)

The honest caveat

Freddie Freeman has 16 home runs and none in 30 games — the longest quiet stretch of his season. It does not undo the case above; it is the part of the record that argues the other way.

What to watch next
