MLB Players Power Rankings (4): Freddie Freeman, Atlanta Braves

Week-10 Stats: 0.875 SLG | 0.539 wOBA | 241 wRC+ | 0.6 fWAR

Freddie Freeman makes his return to the MLB Players Power Rankings after a two-week absence, and the timing couldn’t be better. With the Atlanta Braves just ONE game behind the NL East division leader Philadelphia Phillies, Freeman will have to play an integral role in keeping the Braves surging in the right direction.

This season, the 29-year-old first baseman is looking to top what was by far his best season in 2018. That season, Freeman exhibited an ability to hit for contact and showed the value in having doubles hitters on your team.

This season, Freeman has enhanced his ability to hit for power and is on pace to post a career high in home runs. In fact, if Freeman continues to play at this level, he is on pace to hit 42 home runs. Not only that, but he is also on pace to exceed 100 RBI for the first time since 2013.

In terms of run creation, his increase in power has made Freeman one of the best run creators in baseball. This season, he is currently sporting a career-high wRC+ of 158, which ranks him 9th in all of baseball.
