    Freeman is a solid player who benefits from position scarcity. Competent college catchers get pushed up draft boards, and Freeman has shown he is competent. Offensively, he's more than that, showing good strength in his average-sized 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame. Freeman slugged .622 as a sophomore, adding 20 doubles to his 10 home runs, and thrived with wood last summer, batting .349 with six homers in the New England Collegiate League. He has been pitched around a bit more as a junior but still ranked sixth in the Atlantic Sun Conference in batting. He has a sound swing, above-average raw power and some feel for hitting. Defensively, Freeman has average arm strength and soft hands, but his stiff actions and lack of agility tend to betray him. He had thrown out 26 percent of basestealers this season.
