Look at Freddie Freeman’s offensive numbers now and, except for a higher strikeout rate, they look about on par with what the Braves slugger has done throughout his seven-year career.
It’s the way Freeman’s gotten to this point that’s odd.
Usually a steady hitter from April through October, Freeman has had drastic peaks and valleys this season. He’s on a peak now and said he’s looking to be more constant at the plate for the rest of the season.
“I have to say it’s been on odd season so far,” Freeman said Tuesday before the Braves opened a two-game series against the Marlins.
