Freddie Freeman Opens Up on Shifting Priorities

Freddie Freeman has reached 2,500 career hits, but his focus has shifted since having a daughter.

He's no longer prioritizing 3,000 hits as his top goal, citing his new perspective as a father.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' first baseman wants to spend more time with his family.

Freeman told The Athletic that getting 3,000 hits would be cool, but it's not his main priority now.

He's thinking about how long he wants to play and what's best for his family.

Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, recently welcomed their fourth child and first daughter, London Rosemary Joy.

This new addition has changed his perspective on individual stats and his career.

He's missing out on things with his daughter, which he'll never get back.

The Dodgers still need Freeman's bat, especially with him hitting alongside Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts.

His 2,500th hit came during a 10-run seventh inning, showing the team's potential.

Freeman is still chasing greatness, but now he's more aware of what's waiting for him at home.

The Dodgers will not want Freeman thinking too far ahead, but he's being honest about his priorities.

Freeman is 36 and still productive, but he's thinking about his legacy and his family.

He doesn't like seeing his daughter grow up on a FaceTime call, which is affecting his decisions.

The Blue Jays fans in Toronto, where Freeman has Canadian roots, would understand his pull between legacy and family.

Freeman is still important to the Dodgers' lineup, but he's being open about his shifting priorities.
