View Draft Report
South Mountain is Freudenberg's third college in two years. He started out at Central Arizona JC before transferring to Arizona Christian during his freshman year. He has an athletic frame at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds with broad shoulders and room for more projection. He has a fluid delivery with a clean arm action and pitches in the 88-92 mph range right now. He mixes in an average curveball and cutter. Freudenberg put up great numbers but wore down under a heavy workload this spring, as he often started at midweek and then pitched in relief on the weekends. While he is working to command his fastball and will need to learn a changeup, Freudenberg profiles as a workhorse, middle-of-the-rotation starter.
