Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman discusses being a frontrunner for the National League batting title this season.

Freddie Freeman has endured the most frustrating year in his time with the Dodgers, although a .303 batting average would say otherwise. Freeman began the year leading the National League with a .374 batting average after May 31.

Smith led all NL hitters with a .304 average going into Thursday’s games, but Trea Turner, teammate Freeman and Xavier Edwards are all close behind. It’s familiar territory for Freeman.
