Freddie Freeman Named World Series MVP After Leading Dodgers to Historic Victory

Despite dealing with an ankle injury that hindered him during the NLDS and NLCS, Freeman's heroics at the plate led the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-1 series win over the New York Yankees, securing the franchise’s eighth World Series title.

Freeman's World Series campaign was headlined by a record-breaking home run streak, which set the tone for the Dodgers’ dominance. His Game 1 walk-off grand slam, the first in World Series history, helped the Dodgers come from behind to win 6-3 in extra innings. He followed up that performance with home runs in Games 2, 3, and 4, making him the first player to hit homers in the first four games of a World Series and breaking George Springer's previous record of five consecutive World Series games with a home run.

In Game 5, while Freeman didn’t hit another home run, his two-RBI single in the fifth inning ignited the Dodgers' rally from a 5-0 deficit, eventually leading to their 7-6 win. This victory marked the largest comeback in a World Series-clinching game in MLB history.

Throughout the series, Freeman collected six hits, drove in a series-record 12 RBIs, and blasted four home runs, solidifying his MVP status and adding yet another accolade to his illustrious career.

Freeman’s offensive consistency and clutch performances made the 35-year-old first baseman an undeniable force, propelling the Dodgers to their first full-season World Series title since 1988 and further establishing his legacy in Major League Baseball.
