The Los Angeles Dodgers' offseason signing of Blake Snell has generated excitement within the organization, notably from Freddie Freeman, who has historically performed decently against Snell. Freeman's consistency is a source of admiration for Snell as he witnesses Freeman's work ethic firsthand, contributing to his sustained success. Meanwhile, Freeman is experiencing an MVP-level season, even while recovering from an ankle injury. Conversely, Snell's own performance has been disappointing, marked by a quick stint on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation, leaving the team wanting more from their investment.
Freeman's batting average against Snell is nearly identical to his numbers against left-handers for his career, but the slugging percentage is well below his .453 mark.
Snell's experience with Freeman's consistent work ethic has opened his eyes to why Freeman remains one of MLB's best players.
Freeman has been in the middle of an MVP caliber year despite playing on a surgically-repaired right ankle that isn't yet 100% healthy.
While neither player has outright dominated their head-to-head matchups, it's easier to play together than to compete against each other.
