Freddie Freeman last season hit 39 doubles, the third-most in the National League, the seventh time in his career he’s been in the top three in the league in two-baggers. That includes four times leading the NL in doubles, including each of his first two seasons with the Dodgers. His 59 doubles in 2023 are tied for most in MLB in the last 89 years.
His 180 doubles over the last four seasons are 27 more than anyone else in the majors, 17.6 percent more than Guardians star third baseman José Ramírez,
his next-closest competitor. Freeman’s 180 doubles are the most by any Dodgers hitter in a four-year span, surpassing Babe Herman’s 170 doubles from 1928-31 for Brooklyn.
Freeman’s 39 doubles last season vaulted him further up the all-time leaderboard. After beginning 2025 in 59th place on the doubles list, Freeman ended 2025 with 547 doubles, tied for 34th place with Manny Ramírez. Four years ago, before he played a game with the Dodgers, Freeman ranked 257th.
Age and injuries have caught up a bit to Freeman, who played in 147 games in each of the last two regular seasons after playing in 99 percent of his teams’ games from 2018-23.
Should Freeman hit 25 doubles in his age-36 season in 2026, he’d move up seven spots in the leaderboard, to tied for 27th. Thirty doubles gets him to 25th place, and 40 doubles would vault Freeman into 21st place. He’d need at least 45 doubles to get into the top 20, with Todd Helton in 20th place at 592 doubles.
There have been only nine seasons in Dodgers history with at least 30 doubles by a player 36 or older, the last by Justin Turner with 36 doubles to match his age in 2022. The only other Los Angeles Dodger that old to hit at least 30 doubles was Jeff Kent, with 36 doubles in each of 2005 (age 37) and 2007 (age 39). Zack Wheat has the top-two doubles seasons by a Dodger this old, with 41 doubles at age 36 in 1924 for Brooklyn and 42 doubles one year later.
