Dodgers’ Freeman named World Series MVP
Published
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman captured the Willie Mays World Series Most Valuable Player Award after a historic performance in the Fall Classic.
Freeman hit a two-run homer in the first inning of Game 4 and became the first player in MLB history to go deep in each of the first four games of the World Series.
The 35-year-old’s overall World Series home run streak reached a record-breaking six games stretching back to the final two games of the 2021 series while he was a member of the Atlanta Braves.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer previously held the record when he went deep in five consecutive Series games for the Houston Astros from 2017-19.
Though the streak ended in the Dodgers’ Game 5 victory, Freeman contributed again with a two-RBI single in a five-run inning that helped power their title-winning comeback.
The California native finished the Fall Classic with four homers, six hits and 12 RBIs.
