Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is on pace to break the single-season record of 60 doubles in 87 years.
According to Baseball Reference (BR), Freeman has 50 doubles in 522 at-bats as of Sept. 30. That’s a double every 10.44 at-bats.
The Dodgers have 30 games left in the regular season as of the 31st. If Freeman plays every game and averages four at-bats, he will have 10 more doubles in 120 at-bats to reach 60 for the season.
According to BR, the player with the most doubles in a single season in major league history is Earl Webb, who hit 67 doubles in 589 at-bats for the Boston Red Sox in 1931. That’s a double every 8.79 at-bats.온라인바카
