Atlanta Braves infielder Freddie Freeman is in the top 25 MLB player rankings, according to ESPN.

Ranked No. 25, Freeman only played in 117 games last season due to his wrist injury, but the first baseman hit 28 home runs –– only six less than his career-high in 2016.

Freeman’s .977 OPS over the past two seasons is ranked sixth in the MLB.

In 2017, Freeman was ranked No. 17 on the ESPN MLB player rankings.
