NEW YORK - Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was named Most Valuable Player of the World Series after his team wrapped up a 4-1 series victory over the New York Yankees on Wednesday to claim their first Major League Baseball championship since 2020.

Freeman hit home runs in each of the first four games of the series, including a walk off grand slam in Game One, and finished with 12 RBI and a .300 batting average in the Fall Classic.

He delivered a two-run single as part of a five-run fifth inning on Wednesday as the Dodgers came from behind to win Game Five 7-6 in New York.
