What is the record for most home runs in a World Series? Freddie Freeman is close to breaking it
Freddie Freeman has been the difference maker for the Los Angeles Dodgers so far through three games of the World Series.
Freeman has hit three homers and accounted for seven runs batted in so far in the series. He’s made a little history along the way, too. Freeman is the only player in MLB history to hit a homer in five straight World Series games, dating back to the last two games of the 2021 World Series when Freeman played with the Braves.

But what about the home run record for a single World Series? Freeman doesn’t quite have that one in the bag yet.
The record currently sits at five, according to Baseball Reference. It’s currently three different batters:
- Reggie Jackson (Yankees, 1977 World Series)
- Chase Utley (Phillies, 2009 World Series)
- George Springer (Astros, 2017 World Series)
If Freeman can hit a couple more homers in this series, he’ll be able to join them in sharing this record.
