View Draft Report
Freeman has been a standout for Jones County (Miss.) JC for two seasons and also impressed scouts in the Prospect League last summer. He has a useful four-pitch repertoire with a changeup he can mix in to keep lefties honest and a slider and curveball he uses to attack righthanders. Freeman's velocity took a small step back this year, as he doesn't touch 93-94 as often as he did in 2017, generally sitting in the 89-91 range this year. He's signed to go to Alabama if he doesn't sign with a pro team.
