Freddie Freeman has been a modern day iron man for the Los Angeles Dodgers since first joining the ballclub back in 2022.
He’s played in at least 147 regular season games in each of the last four years. In 2024, Freeman ended up being the World Series MVP despite essentially playing on one leg with a badly injured ankle.
The same ankle visibly bothered him throughout the 2025 season. With a combination of around-the-clock treatment and rest, Freeman managed to play the entire playoffs and still contribute in a major way.
As the 2026 season approaches, the 36-year-old first baseman could end up yet again representing his parents’ home country of Canada in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
