"No one way to pitch him" - Derek Jeter likens Freddie Freeman to legends Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Edgar Martinez

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman has been on an absolute tear. Just in the World Series alone, the former NL MVP has three home runs, helping his club reach a comfortable 3-0 lead.

This is remarkable given he is coming off an injury and was uncertain if he would suit up for the World Series. Now, he is making headlines with his firepower at the plate.

Everybody has taken notice of just how dialed in Freeman has been in the postseason. New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter believes he is one of the best hitters in all of baseball.

"Look, Freddie [Freeman] hits righties, he hits lefties, he hits fastballs, he hits offspeed pitches, he hits the ball to left field, center field, right field. [He] is one of the best overall hitters in the game," said Jeter.

Jeter takes this a step further when he compares Freeman to some of the all-time greatest hitters the league has seen.

"I was saying to the guys, 'He reminds me a little of Edgar Martinez.' This was a guy that hit for average and he hit for power," said Jeter.

It was not just Edgar Martinez. Jeter also states that Freeman reminds him of guys like Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz. Like those players, Freeman's presence in the lineup sparks fear in opposing pitchers.

"[He's] locked in right now and when [he's] locked in there really is no one way to pitch him. You just hope the person behind him is not swinging the bat well," said Jeter.

While much of the attention was on Shohei Ohtani's first World Series appearance, the attention has quickly shifted. Freddie Freeman has taken the game into his own hands and has been red-hot at the plate.

Freeman has three home runs in the World Series and is two away from tying a record. Reggie Jackson, Chase Utley, and George Springer are the only players in history to hit five home runs in the World Series.

With how he has looked so far, it would not surprise many if he was able to tie the record. However, with the lead his team is out to currently, he may be running out of time. But if you were to ask Freeman, he is likely more concerned with winning another title over breaking the record.
