Freddie Freeman is now the best 1B in the world.

[SJ24]

He has reached the window in which his skills match his athletic gifts.

PA: 174

AVG: .331
BABIP: .360
BB%: 14.4%
K%: 16.1%
ISO: .262

Votto and Goldy seem to be declining. Bellinger is back on planet Earth, and Freddie has never been in a slump to the extent of current Rizzo.

This is pretty undeniable now, IMO. All bias aside, he’s just incredible. We’re so freaking lucky.

Context.

There was never any context to ever trading Freeman.

We'd never get back the proper value that ever made sense to moving him.

Harry was hanging out w Gauguin's great granddaughter. That'll change your perspective too.

Freddie Freeman BB% is 15.3%. His K% is also 15.3%.

He has 5 consecutive games without a strikeout. 23 PA.

What a ballplayer.

 

[Enscheff]

Sometimes I like to go back and look at Chipper's stats to remind myself how much I took his greatness for granted.

His career BB rate was 14.2%, and his career K rate was only 13.3%.
