Freddie Freeman: Baserunning Genius 

Freddie Freeman runs in a way that makes a viewer think "oh he's chugging along"

THERE’S WIND BOYS! THERE’S WIIIND!!!

freddie freeman waited 15 years to realize he can steal bases

The kind of base running you can bring home to Mom and Dad... That is an all timer of a line

Another banger of a main channel video, Bailey. Can't wait for your main channel video about this year's HoF inductions.

I like the Canadian accent "Oop lemme scoot right past ya there bud" Not too exaggerated, but stays true to accurate good ole Canadian slang like "bud". This bit is Canuck approved.

plays the game the right way baserunning

In german there is an idiom "Was man nicht im Kopf hat, muss man in den Beinen haben" which translates to "what you don't have in the head you have to make up with your legs". I guess the reverse is also true: If you have enough stuff in your head you can make up what you are lacking in your legs.

Aka noted Braves fan Foolish Bailey talking about an ex of his

another wonderful main channel video great job Bailey

Just a great all around player who takes advantage of the smallest opportunities to improve his game gotta appreciate dudes like this in the sport.

Freddie hits more doubles on ground balls to center field than any player I've ever seen. I'm not sure if there's any way to actually quantify them but it's really insane how often he does it.

Prime Pujols was similar too, no speed but great baserunning smarts Another banger main channel video

Kyle Tucker gives these vibes too, only 32nd percentile sprint speed but can give you 20+ steals

Christian Yelich is 5th which is even more mind-boggling.

Hey look, Tommy Edman is top 5 in base stealing efficiency. That’s my GOAT

Main channel upload, let's go!

I love when Bailey uploads on his main channel

Always marveled at Freddie’s baserunning stats, as a Braves fan. Glad to see a video on them.

Had been thinking this for a bit now, always surprised at how good he is at advancing bases.

Immediately thought of the Spring Training clip when I saw the title - one of my favorite baseball moments ever

A nice surprise. I wasn’t expecting a video on the main channel today

Yelich is also up there on the list of sneaky great base runners which is pretty cool as well

Babe wake up new Foolish Bailey

The brain is important, pujols could barely walk at the end, but when he stole em he was never caught

Always love when you post on your main channel! Keep it up foolish

This is the best main channel on all of RU-vid

Another great video here on your main channel, Bailey!

Between this video and the other one, I didn’t realize Yelich was still such an elite base runner

banger main channel vid again loved it

Absolutely fun video. Im a Braves fan and I still cheer for Freeman. I didnt ever think of Freeman like this. I didnt even see it when that viral vid went out. Thanks for your work.

Bailey, great content! Subscribed

Bailey this video is nice and all but when are you going to upload again on your second channel

He must be leading the league in helmet-falling-off too. Look at that bucket just tumble off every time.

The Braves have 5 of the top 23 when it comes to extra base %. The team as a whole is great at getting jumps, going 1st to 3rd, etc. Gonna be a fun season.

Another main channel upload! I love these

It's great for Bailey to shoutout his second channel here on his main channel.

It's gotta be nice being disregarded as a baserunner when you have the brains to do it well. I bet it feels like a big brain move every time Freddie steals second.

One of my fav players and I'm not even a Dodgers or Braves fan. Future HOF

Watching him run gives me two trains of thought. 1.) Nicolas Cage is fated to be cast in a straight to dvd/streaming Freddie Freeman biopic despite his age. 2.) You can actually feel the force of all his body weight he flat-footedly plants into the ground with each step through the screen of your phone

I wish the data went back far enough to bear this out, but I have a memory of Don Mattingly being the same type of baserunner - quite adept at going first to third or second to home on a single given his lack of speed.

i love you so much foolish bailey

Didn't know, thanks!

Freddie and Goldy have some of the highest base running IQ in the league. Both super underrated in that way.

"There's wind boys! There's wind!" That is a special player who can pull that off. 🤣

1950’s middle America base-running. A real hard worker

3 square meals a day base running.

I wonder if Freddie Freeman's long legs help with the base tagging/perception of tagging? Like the short strides mean he can kick out the leading leg faster

as soon as I saw the title I knew "theres wind boys" was gonna be mentioned

Bailey, you said "Oop let me just schooch right past ya there bud" but the proper midwest way is "Ope," hope this helps.

"Oop! Lemme just scootch right past ya there, bud!" In all fairness, Freeman is Canadian, and this is, in fact, how we talk. Points for accuracy.

So this is your main channel?

Where is the chase utley is the goat video??

So the big boy baseball awards are on your secondary channel? I dont think so Bailey.

will this turn into a new stat? GPBR, good piece of base running.

This base running wears wife beaters and chills on the porch with sweet tea and the grandkids

I think there’s a hidden message here somewhere. Not qwhite sure what it is about Freeman. He just plays the game the right way.

My main takeaway from this video has nothing to do with Freddie Freeman's baserunning. It is that Whit Merrifield is older than Freddie Freeman.

Mike Trout SB since 2020: 6 Freddie Freeman SB since the '23 All Star break: 11

the type of baserunning that makes granddad proud

“Good clubhouse guy” baserunning

The phrase you’re looking for is *ope, gonna squeeze right past’cha.

I've been saying this about Freddie since 2014

How does Goldschmidt compare?

I am downright shocked gitaffeneckmarc is not in the comments on this one. That man has a weird thing for Freeman.

Freddie Freeman is basically Chase Utley wuth better knees and playing in an era where people appreciate advanced stats

I will give you your bit of extra bases taken. Freeman has always been an aggressive baserunner and, when given the chance, will always go for the extra base. That's how he's always been. However, I have to disagree with you on his basestealing. While it is normal to run on counts where it's expected that the pitcher is throwing a breaking ball low, the rate he was doing it at is unquestionably the byproduct of bigger bases, and _especially_ the brand new disengagement rules. A relatively slow runner like Freeman doesn't accidently steal 23 bases in a season otherwise, given this context. I'm surprised you didn't bring those changes up at all, but I guess it wouldn't have fit your narrative.

The term 'Clydesdale' comes to mind seeing him run, but that's mostly used in reference to big, slow catchers. But Freddie isn't NOT a Clydesdale!

Freddie Freeman is the best backside hitter in baseball absolutely perfect and if you look back over history most left-handed hitters who we know as grade hitters are exactly the same way

i think this is his main channel guys

I feel like Bailey really wanted to do a Freddie video for awhile now and just didnt quite have the topic to make it sound especially interesting, given how much he just likes Freddie lol

foolish baseballcels will claim that foolish baseball is his main channel but us statmaxxed foolish baileychads know that foolish bailey is really the main channel

Could pena's extra pickoffs be because pitchers know he is an easy target as well?

What’s his max foot speed and what’s his fastes home to second, 1st to 3rd. Does he turn it on when he knows he can because he’s smart? Average doesn’t tell the whole story.

Jose Rameriz fits this profile as well

Carlos Santana is another older, not fast, first baseman that is a great baserunner!

Dude makes good decisions. That's what it comes down to.

Paul Goldschmidt is also a fantastic base runner.

as a braves fan we miss him

🔥🔥

i love freddie freeman

I like how it went from "white guy in sports tropes" to "Midwestisms"

Foolish confirmed baseballcirclejerk scroller

Freddie freeman is the John Kasich of baseball stealers

btw this guy happens to be the 3rd best hitter on his team. madness.

Freddie the kind of runner that other kids would call Wheels

HE. GETS. ON. BASE.

I'm disappointed that in the entire video you did not point out that Freddie Freeman looks like Waluigi when he runs

why do trea turner, corbin carroll and freddie freeman all have alliterative names

There’s wind boys

FREDDIE FREEMAN MENTIONED 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We gonna talk about Corbin Carroll leading all of MLB in BsR over the last 2 seasons despite being an active player for just one season? 5:50

I'll always remember pujols taking bases as an old man with no legs

Drink everytime Bailey says Freddie Freeman.

Bad example - Correa just played a season with a serious foot condition (plantar fasciitis, unrelated to the ankle) that seriously damaged his foot speed, ability to plant, and ability to accelerate quickly. Not a great example.

freddie freeman is THE White guy of the MLB

Daughter dating type Base running, first guy in last guy out kinda base running, hard working sneaky athletic style base running.

I guess you can say he is not “foolish” on the base path

Chicken soup for the soul baserunning

The fact that Freddie Freeman was not allowed to spend his entire career with the Bravos is a travesty, a tragedy, and just a damn disappointment to Braves fans everywhere. Congrats to him and best of luck in his career, but also, we miss him.
