That's what we're trying to do in the middle of the lineup. We've got some great guys at the top that are going to be pushing around .380 to .400 on base percentage. There should be a lot of opportunities."

"It fits, when everyone hears that song, they know it's me coming up to the plate ... I will be sticking with 'Baila Conmigo.' It sticks with me wherever I go."
Freddie Freeman will bat cleanup for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2026, with Shohei Ohtani leading off, Kyle Tucker batting second, and Mookie Betts batting third. Freeman expressed enthusiasm about the fourth spot, noting the high on-base percentages of the top hitters will create numerous RBI opportunities. He emphasized his preference for batting in the middle of the lineup with runners in scoring position. Freeman will maintain his walkup song "Baila Conmigo" for the upcoming season. Over four seasons with the Dodgers, Freeman has slashed .310/.391/.516 with 96 home runs and 381 RBIs, positioning him to potentially reach career milestones including 400 home runs and 3,000 career hits.
