Freddie Freeman addressed reporters on June 24, 2026, following a high-scoring Los Angeles Dodgers win. Freeman said he has accumulated 566 career doubles, placing him 28th all-time on the all-time doubles list, and reflected on the team's MLB-best record.
When asked about the Dodgers' standing in the league, Freeman attributed the team's success to its depth. "We got really good depth. We got really good players, guys. Doesn't matter what's happening. We have a lot of guys injured right now," he said during the press conference. "And you got guys stepping up making big plays, big at bats."
Freeman pointed to Chucky Robinson as a specific example of that depth, noting that Robinson stepped in for Dalton, called a great game, and recorded two hits on consecutive nights. Freeman also noted that Kirstson had asked him about the team's recent offensive struggles, which he dismissed as a routine part of a long season. "I just thought it was just two games. It happens over the course of the season. We didn't really do much anything different. We just hit the ball and they fell," he explained. He added that the group's collective approach — "never giving up on a bat" — was central to the offensive performance.
On the personal milestone, Freeman acknowledged he was unaware his doubles total had reached that level until informed by a reporter. "I didn't know it was that high, but I guess it's high," he stated. Freeman noted that over his 17-year career he has consistently performed well at the current venue and added that staying healthy over a long period has been a key factor in his statistical achievements.
Freeman mentioned that as he gets older he has begun to appreciate his career accomplishments more and expressed a forward-looking outlook: "Hopefully we got a few more years left to accomplish some more things."
