Freddie Freeman played his first dozen seasons with the Atlanta Braves where he was shown to be one of the best First Basemen in the National League. 

In 2011 Freeman was the runner-up for the National League Rookie of the Year (losing to teammate Craig Kimbrel) and in 2013 he was named an All-Star and finished fifth in MVP voting when he had a .319 Batting Average with a career-high 109 Runs Batted In.  Again anAll-Starr in 2014, the First Baseman would have a 34 Home Run season (a career high) in 2016 and would go on a three-year run where he batted over .300 each year.  Freeman has finished in the top ten in MVP voting four times before the 2020 season, and in the COVID-19-impacted year, Freeman won the MVP while leading the National League in Doubles (23), and was second in all aspects of the Slash Line (.341/.462/.509).  After finishing ninth in MVP voting in 2021 with 120 league-leading Runs and a third straight Silver Slugger, Freeman left the Braves for Los Angeles as a Free Agent

Freeman had 1,704 Hits, and 271 Home Runs for Atlanta, and had he played a few more seasons for ATL, he would have made the top ten.
