Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers recorded his 2000th career hit Sunday night. He joins five other active players with at least 2000 hits. Miguel Cabrera leads the field with 3119, but everyone else is over 1000 hits behind him. Joey Votto is second with 2098, but as he approaches age 40 there is little chance of him reaching 3000. Nelson Cruz and Andrew McCutchen also seem a bit old to gather over 900 hits the rest of the way. Elvis Andrus at 2036 hits is a year older than Freeman. Freeman is still very good, so I could see him collecting 1000 hits in seven seasons.

The most likely to reach 3000 from list is probably Manny Machado, with 1659 hits as he approaches his 31st birthday.
