Freddie Freeman Named NL Player of the Week After Red-Hot Run at the Plate

Freddie Freeman has once again proven why he remains one of the most consistent hitters in Major League Baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman was named National League Player of the Week, marking the 10th time in his career he’s earned the honor.

Freeman put together an outstanding week at the plate, batting .500 (14-for-28) over seven games. His performance included three home runs, 12 RBIs, three doubles, a triple, two walks, and seven runs scored. The week was capped off with a standout showing in Arizona, where Freeman recorded his first four-hit game of the season at Chase Field, including two doubles and a home run.

In that same series finale against the Diamondbacks, Freeman passed 900 career extra-base hits, becoming just the 70th player in MLB history to reach that milestone. His consistent production and leadership continue to be a driving force behind the Dodgers’ offense, as he now sits just one RBI shy of the National League lead, with 33 RBIs in 30 games this season.

Beyond the stat sheet, Freeman’s impact is rooted in his professionalism, patience at the plate, and knack for delivering in key moments. His ability to adapt to pitchers, stay locked in through every at-bat, and lead by example sets the tone for one of baseball’s most talented lineups.

While power hitters come and go, Freeman’s edge lies in his elite focus, hand-eye coordination, and understanding of the game. He doesn’t just swing with force—he swings with precision. These qualities not only make him a nightmare for opposing pitchers but also a model of sustained excellence in today’s game.

Just weeks earlier, Andy Pages was named Co-NL Player of the Week for his own breakout performance with the Dodgers, proving how deep this team’s talent runs. Pages’ rise mirrors the kind of focus and consistency Freeman has long been known for.

As players strive to maintain performance over long seasons, the role of sports psychology, mental toughness, and precision training has become more important than ever. Tools like Chegorra’s VR training system are emerging as a go-to resource for athletes aiming to stay sharp. By simulating high-pressure, game-speed situations, Chegorra allows players to improve reaction time in baseball, sharpen decision-making, and train the quick-twitch reflexes needed to stay competitive at the highest level.

Chegorra’s immersive VR game helps athletes prepare for the unpredictable—whether it’s reacting to a 98-mph fastball or adjusting mid-swing to an off-speed pitch. In a sport where milliseconds matter, having access to advanced reaction training tools can mean the difference between a hit and a strikeout.

Freeman’s remarkable week is just another reminder that success in baseball goes beyond raw talent. It’s built on preparation, focus, and adaptability—traits that the game continues to reward. As the season rolls on, Freeman’s steady presence and elite performance will be crucial for a Dodgers team with championship ambitions.
