With his three hits last night, Freddie Freeman is at 2,491 for his career. He is at 65.1 career WAR, which is close beh

What happened: Freddie Freeman recorded three hits in his latest game, lifting his career total to 2,491, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. The performance also moved his career WAR to 65.1.

Why it matters: That 65.1 WAR sits just behind Hall of Famers Craig Biggio and Roberto Alomar, among others, strengthening Freeman's own Cooperstown case. For a player who has openly weighed his baseball longevity, each multi-hit night adds to a résumé already trending toward the Hall.

By the numbers: Career hits: 2,491. Career WAR: 65.1, trailing Craig Biggio and Roberto Alomar among others. Freeman has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .343 over his last 10 games.

What to watch: Watch for Freeman to cross the 2,500-hit milestone, now within reach, and where his WAR ultimately ranks among enshrined contemporaries.
