Freddie Freeman 7th player to get 2,500th hit while with Dodgers
Freddie Freeman singled in the seventh inning on Tuesday night at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, giving him 2,500 career hits, the 102nd player in MLB history to reach that milestone.
No. 2,500 for Freeman was hit off Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Brandan Bidois, and RBI single that brought home the Dodgers’ 10th run of a very long inning.

Freeman, who doubled earlier in the game off Paul Skenes, has been hot of late, hitting .357/.429/.686 with six home runs and five doubles over his last 18 games.
This milestone comes almost three years after Freeman collected his 2,000th hit, an RBI double off Houston Astros right-hander Ryan Montero on June 25, 2023 at Dodger Stadium. With the Dodgers, Freeman also hit his 300th career home run (on May 18, 2023 in St. Louis), his 400th double (July 28, 2022 in Denver), and his 500th double (August 6, 2024 at home against the Philadelphia Phillies), the 10th-youngest player to reach the latter milestone.
Freeman is the active MLB leader in career hits, doubles (563), runs scored (1,414), RBI (1,358), extra-base hits (974), and total bases (4,262).

Since signing with the Dodgers in 2022, Freeman has 796 hits, second in the majors during that span, behind only Luis Arráez. Of the 102 players with at least 2,500 career hits, only seven have collected their 2,500th hit while playing for the Dodgers. Freeman is the first to do so since Manny Ramírez on April 10, 2010.
