Drafted in the 18th round (549th overall) by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2014.
View Draft Report
Freeman has a four-year career of sustained two-way performance and should be a quality senior sign. He has started 15 games on the mound in his career, but has worked mostly as a reliever, and his 86-88 mph fastball likely means his pitching career will end in pro ball. The lefthanded hitter is a bat-first player at the bottom end of the defensive spectrum. He has taken advantage of a cozy home park to hit .343/.398/.570 for his career. His best tool is his above-average raw power that produced a career isolated slugging of .227. Freeman, 23, has shown an ability to control the strike zone and make contact at an above-average clip, with a 12 percent strikeout rate against an eight percent walk rate, but scouts worry about how his hand hitch will play against professional competition. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder fits best at first but moves and throws well enough to handle an outfield corner.
