Manager Dave Roberts uses the word ‘slump’ for his first baseman, who is 3 for 27 through the first seven games of the homestand and hitting .259 this season
The Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman participates in batting practice before a game against the New York Mets on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at Dodger Stadium. LOS ANGELES — Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the obvious Saturday morning, calling Freddie Freeman’s struggles at the plate a legitimate “slump.”
Freeman was batting just .259 leading into Saturday afternoon’s game against the New York Mets, with a .346 slugging percentage that was better than only his 20-game baptism in the major leagues in 2010 when the mark was .333. Freeman went 0 for 5 on Friday, his second hitless game with five at-bats already this season. He had just four of those all of last season. Through the first seven games of the current homestand, Freeman was 3 for 27 with a .148 slugging percentage.
Leadoff man Mookie Betts is thriving while batting in front of Ohtani in the second spot. Ohtani also is producing, as is Will Smith in the cleanup spot. It makes little sense to move any of them out of a spot in which they have taken ownership.
