Freddie Freeman’s superb success against southpaws

When Freddie Freeman hit his 200th career home run on May 19th, it was a significant moment for one of the best hitters in baseball. Freeman is off to another incredible start this season, as he is producing a .317/.419/.577 slash line in the first third of 2019. In any other year, this production would make Freeman more of an early season MVP favorite, though he’s not getting as much buzz in this regard this year due to Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich.

This also is one of the best starts to a season Freeman has had in his career.
