"As I've gotten older, I do appreciate what I've been able to accomplish. Hopefully I've got a lot more in my future, but 550 is definitely pretty cool."
"Yeah, I would say so. I know he'll tell me he's still got me in homers. But yeah, Chipper has meant a lot to me. My approach and the inside line of the batter's box, try to keep my hands through it, he's the one that told me that."
"He told me to hit the ball through the wall, not over the wall. There's a lot of things that I took from him when I first came up. He definitely meant a lot to me earlier in my career."
Freddie Freeman started the season slowly but improved during a series against the Washington Nationals. He hit a two-run home run and had a strong performance with two doubles and four RBI in one game. This achievement marked his 550th career double, placing him 31st on MLB's all-time list. Freeman acknowledged the importance of surpassing Chipper Jones, his former teammate, and credited Jones for influencing his batting approach. Freeman aims to continue climbing the all-time doubles leaderboard as the season progresses.
