Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was named National League player of the week on Monday after piling up the hits on the road against the Marlins and Diamondbacks.
Freeman hit .500/.500/1.000 with three home runs, three doubles, and a triple, leading the NL with 14 hits and 12 RBI over the last week, while scoring seven runs in seven games.
He punctuated his week with his first four-hit game of the season on Sunday at Chase Field, including two doubles, and a home run. During that series finale in Arizona, Freeman passed 900 career extra-base hits, just the 70th player in MLB history to do so.

Despite missing 11 games with left rib discomfort and a right ankle sprain, Freeman on the season is just one off the National League RBI lead, driving in 33 runs in his 30 games. He’s one plate appearance shy of qualifying, but has the best OPS (1.170), slugging percentage (.734), batting average (.376), and wRC+ (215).
Freeman is the second Dodger to win player of the week in 2025, along with outfielder Andy Pages for the week with April 21-27.
This is the 10th career player of the week award for Freeman, and his fifth since joining the Dodgers. He took home the honor three times during the 2022 season and then again for the week of July 31-August 6, 2023.
