MLB Note - Atlanta Braves Freeman, Freddie

Jul 26, 2017 - 10:35 AM INF Freddie Freeman no doubt has missed homers because he didn't hit the ball quite far enough. This team, he lost one because he hit it too hard. Freeman settled for a double on a 425-foot drive that struck just to the left of the yellow home run line in Chase Field's quirky center field on Monday night. If the ball had been hit slightly less hard, it likely would have missed an overhang and settled into the seats. "I said (on the bench), if he hadn't hit it so hard, it probably would have been a homer," manager Brian Snitker said.
