Overview
- Freeman reached his 2,500th career hit Tuesday night, June 9, 2026, with an RBI single that capped a 10-run seventh at PNC Park.
- He moved within the inning from a sixth-inning double off Paul Skenes to the milestone single off reliever Brandan Bidois in the Dodgers’ 12-3 win over the Pirates.
- The hit makes Freeman the 102nd player in MLB history to reach 2,500 hits and the only active player at that mark, keeping him atop the current career hits leaderboard.
- The Dodgers celebrated in the clubhouse, manager Dave Roberts playfully challenged Freeman to ‘get 500 more,’ and Freeman gave a brief speech praising his teammates.
- While 3,000 hits is a plausible long-term goal given Freeman’s ongoing production, reaching it would require multiple productive seasons and is uncertain because of his family priorities and upcoming contract decisions.
