Freddie Freeman: Mookie Betts & Ronald Acuña Jr. ‘Pretty Special’

Prior to signing a six-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Freddie Freeman became a fixture in the Atlanta Braves organization and helped lead them to a World Series title in 2021.

While Freeman was a pillar in the Braves franchise, he began to share the spotlight with Ronald Acuña Jr. over recent years. Though, Acuña suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during the summer months of the 2021 season, which left him unavailable as the Braves went on an improbable World Series run.

Now with the Dodgers, Freeman has formed an All-Star tandem with Mookie Betts, a dynamic leadoff man in his own right.
