Tyler Freeman grounded into 15 double plays in 2024. That’s not an unheard-of amount by any means, but what makes it unique is he had more double plays than doubles.
Freeman’s 14 doubles are the seventh most by a Cleveland hitter to finish with more GIDPs than doubles.
Here’s the leaderboard:
The most doubles by a Cleveland hitter to double his doubles with double plays is seven by Joe Azcue in 1965 (7 doubles, 15 GIDP)
