Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman leads the team with 22 stolen bases with a week left in the season, likely to be the first first baseman in team history to lead the team in steals since Jackie Robinson. Here’s a look at Freeman’s strengths and feats on the bases in 2023.
Dodgers designed hitter J.D. Martinez hit five home runs and drove in 12 runs with a 1.708 OPS, and won National League player of the week for the period of September 18-24.
The Dodgers had a great week, taking five of seven from the Tigers and Giants, all but eliminating San Francisco from playoff contention in the process.
Will Smith’s struggles in the second half can be attributed to a broken rib and oblique strain, plus more on Emmet Sheehan’s postseason rotation bid, Fernando Valenzuela being named the tenth greatest Dodger of all time, and Clayton Kershaw.
Our look back at the 1963 Dodgers sees them sweep the Cardinals in St. Louis in the penultimate week of the season, closing in on the National League pennant.

Clayton Kershaw’s start against the Giants Saturday might be his last regular season start at Dodger Stadium, plus more on Mookie Betts and the MVP race, Maury Wills being the eleventh greatest Dodger, and the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes.
Emmet Sheehan once again held the Giant hitless, but couldn’t finish five as he walked four. J.D. Martínez hit his 30th homer of the year to pave the way for a 7-2 win.
