Freddie Freeman Works to Fix Swing Mechanics Ahead of NLDS

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman expressed confidence that he will fix his swing during the team's pre-NLDS bye week after struggling through a late-season slump caused by right knee patellar tendonitis. Freeman hit just .167 over his final 18 games to finish with a career-low .792 OPS and 16 home runs. He plans to take up to 400 swings using the same mental cues that sparked his MVP performance in the 2024 World Series.
