The other five active MLB players with at least 2,000 hits are Miguel Cabrera, Andrew McCutchen, Nelson Cruz, Joey Votto and Elvis Andrus. The next closest player in the league to 2,000 hits is Astros superstar Jose Altuve, who is within 39 hits.
In addition to Freeman’s legendary status, he is also one of only 98 players in the entire history of Major League Baseball to record 2,000 career hits and 300 home runs, respectively. Among active players, Freeman is one of four players to achieve that feat, after Cabrera, Cruz and Votto.

As a fan of the Atlanta Braves, it’s a little heartbreaking, but I can’t help but be happy for Freddie Freeman.
Freddie was a high draft pick for us, grew in our system, played 12 seasons, and then we all know how that ending ended in the ring of the World Series in 2021. . Even though he left for the Dodgers, he would remain a player forever. Be brave with such a resume. And when he’s inducted into the Hall of Fame (and definitely will be in the Hall of Fame at this point), he’ll be in as Brave. He might end up in the Dodgers depending on how long he plays for the Dodgers and whether he’s from California, but he’s going to be Brave above all else.

That’s why I can’t help but be happy about Freddie. Many of those hits happened in Atlanta, so this is also our record.
