After adding a third World Series ring to his arsenal, L.A. Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is building a strong case for him to be voted into the Hall of Famer on the first ballot when he becomes eligible. The nine-time All-Star has an NL MVP award (2020), a World Series MVP (2024), a Gold Glove (2018) and three Silver Sluggers on his resumé, and he’s still going strong at the age of 36. With a .300 lifetime batting average, 367 home runs and 2,431 career hits, Freddie is well on pace for some very impressive milestones that few have reached.

A native of Orange County, CA, Freeman spent his first dozen years in the big leagues with the Atlanta Braves before returning to Southern California to play for the Dodgers in 2022. Who will ever forget his clutch walk-off grand slam in Game 1 of the 2024 World Series that brought back memories of Kirk Gibson in ’88 and sent shock waves throughout greater Los Angeles? This offered bat was swung by Freeman during the 2024 regular season just a couple months before his playoff heroics. It has been conclusively photo-matched by PSA Photo Match to eight hits including two home runs from July 13 to August 5 – his 15th and 16th dingers on the season (#’s 336 and 337 for his career). Freddie finished the year with 22 homers, 89 RBI and a .282 average.

The Marucci ‘CB15-M’ pro model maple bat with a black finish is un-cracked with outstanding evidence of game use. Ball marks and stitch impressions blister the barrel on all sides. There is a heavy coat of pine tar on the handle. The bat’s manufacturing date (“5/17/2024”), length (34”) and weight (32.5”) along with Freddie’s uniform number “5” are all stamped into the knob. All the game-used attributes that an esteemed bat collector is looking for are present on this beauty. Thus, authenticator John Taube of PSA/DNA has given it a perfect GU 10 grade. Full photo-match paperwork from PSA is also included.
