“Freddie always thinks his swing sucks, and then he’s hitting .300 at the end of the year.” 😂

All the greats in the game always seem to find a way to improve, and it all boils down to never being complacent. It is inevitable for everyone to slow down physically as they age, but that just means they have to work doubly as hard to stay at the top of their game.

And for Freeman, who always wants to win every kind of silverware with the Dodgers, this is just the way he conducts his business.

Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman looks to stave off further decline

It’s evident that Freeman is no longer his peak self. He’s declined from a bat speed perspective, and it’s led to a decline in batting average. But in 2025, he put up an OPS of .869 in the regular season, and he tallied 3.9 fWAR, making him worth every penny he’s making from the Dodgers.

At 36, it’s not quite clear just how much longer Freeman can keep up this level of play. But it looks like he’s the kind of guy who’ll remain productive until his very last at-bat in the big leagues considering the way he carries himself.
