Freddie Freeman Joins List of Elite Sluggers with Early-Season Power Surge

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman smashed his 13th home run of the season Monday evening, trailing just Hank Aaron (16) and Eddie Mathews (14) for the most dingers through the franchise's first 35 games of a season, per Sportsnet Stats.

Freeman's early-season success has spread out evenly. After notching nine home runs over 23 games in April, the 27-year-old has followed that with another four in 12 games so far in May. He and the Braves have faced 10 different teams so far this season, and Freeman has hit a home run against each of them, per ESPN Stats & Info.
