Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Freddie Freeman (35), who has emerged as the 0th most valuable player in the World Series, is set to make a new history in the Major League. He is aiming for home runs in consecutive games from the 1st to the 4th for the first time in WS history.
The Los Angeles Dodgers has only one win left to clinch the WS title for the first time in four years. If it wins Game 4 of the WS against the New York Yankees, which starts at 9:08 a.m. on Tuesday, it will end the WS with four consecutive wins. In the meantime, no team with three wins and no losses has missed a championship title in the WS. Freeman, who has won three consecutive games, is about to break a new milestone.
If this WS is over in Game 4 or at least Game 5, Freeman is highly likely to be the MVP. He already had three homers and seven RBIs in Game 3, recording the most in both categories. Except for Freeman, he has no more than two homers and four RBIs.
In the National League Division Series and Championship Series, Freeman played in eight of 11 games, posting seven hits, one RBI, one run, one walk, six strikeouts, and one stolen base with a batting average of 0.219 OPS of 0.461. Some games had him absent due to ankle injury, and his batting condition was not very good. 스포츠토토
However, he has completely changed with WS. He is leading the Dodgers’ lineup with four long balls, including three homers. Freeman, who produced the cartoonish scene of WS’s first walk-off grand slam in Game 1, hit a back-to-back home run following Teoscar Hernandez in Game 2. In Game 3, when he moved to New York, he drew the first two-run arch to gain the upper hand. All of them were well-nourished.
If Freeman hits a home run in Game 4, he will become the first WS player. No player has hit a home run in Game 1 through Game 4. Freeman is the third player to hit a home run in Games 1 through 3. The previous two were Hank Bauer in 1958 and Barry Bonds in 2002. They played seven games in the series, and had four home runs in Game 6.
If Freeman hits a home run in Game 4, he will hit a home run in six consecutive games from the WS in 2021 when he was in Atlanta, which will also be the first WS. The home run in five consecutive WS games, which was recorded until just before Game 4, is tied for first place with George Springer (then Game 4-7 in Houston 2017, Game 1 in 2019).
If Freeman, who hit a bases-loaded, solo, and two-run shot in this series, hits a three-run shot in Game 4, he will also set the WS’s first “cycle home run” record.
Meanwhile, the number of single WS home runs was five, with three players, Reggie Jackson in 1977 and Chase Utley in 2009 and Springer in 2017.
