LA Dodgers Freddie Freeman has made history in the World Series.

Freeman hit a two-run homer in the first at-bat of Game 4 of the World Series against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on the 30th (Korea time).

After one out in the top of the first inning, Mookie Betts got on base with a double on the right-field line, no outs and runners on the second base. Freeman then took the batter's box with the ball count of 1B2S and pulled Yankees right-hander Lewis Hill's 95.5-mile slider on the outside of the fourth pitch to hit the right fence with a line drive.

The ball, which flew at an angle of 23 degrees and a speed of 106.6 miles, darted over the inside of the right foul pole. The distance is 343 feet. Freeman's home run gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead and increased their chances of winning a four-game sweep.

With this, Freeman once again showed off that he is a strong series MVP by hitting home runs in Game 1 to Game 4 of this World Series.

Freeman is the first player in history to hit consecutive home runs in the first four games of the World Series. Freeman also became the most prolific player in the category with a six-game home run streak so far, including Game 5 and Game 6 of the World Series against the Houston Astros in 2021 when he was with the Atlanta Braves. Toronto Blue Jays George Springer broke home runs in five consecutive games in the World Series twice in 2017 and 2019 when he was in Houston.

All of Freeman's home runs in this World Series are worth all the nutritional value that directly affected the victory.

Freeman reported his first cannon of the postseason by shooting a superior finishing grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning, trailing 2-3 in the first game of Dodger Stadium, and the next day, the second game hit a solo home run to right-center in the third inning with a 3-1 lead. The previous day, Game 3 marked the winning hit by hitting a two-run home run in the first inning, and in Game 4, he also made a new World Series home run history by hitting a two-run shot in the first inning.

Freeman is currently pushing ahead with his left ankle in a bad condition. In a regular-season game against the San Diego Padres on the 26th of last month, he hit a ground ball and sprained his left foot while sprinting to first base. So, I took a break from all three consecutive games of the season against the Colorado Rockies.

Even in the postseason, his condition was jagged. He was 4 for 14 in four division series games against San Diego and 3 for 18 in four NLCS games against the New York Mets, respectively. In total, he has not hit any home runs in 33 at-bats in eight games. However, in the World Series, the bat is burning like a fish in water. Freeman, who signed a six-year, $162 million FA contract in March 2022 and moved to the Dodgers, is going through a golden era worthy of his ransom after three years of joining the team.
