Hit: RHH. Rotational back foot, drive back foot forward onto ball of foot to fully engage lower 1/2 in swing. Hits into firm front leg, posture laid back slightly, work get upright at contact. Stride foot rolls onto side of foot with swing, keep into ground for stability and balance. Develop core strength with rotational exercises to increase rotational acceleration.

Strong, athletic frame with room for more strength. Plus runner (6.88). Moves well in the outfield with plus raw arm strength. Consistent hard contact at the plate (102.5 EV).

Uncommitted. Freeman came in relief late for Wow Factor in their quarterfinals matchup and delivered. Worked his way out of an inherited 1 out, 2 runners on jam in the bottom of the last inning of a tie game. He worked through 2 more extra innings of work before being relieved. Easily sat in the mid 80’s and touched 88 with high spin. Also, he threw a powerful breaking ball at 75-77 mph and got a lot of big whiffs on this pitch. There looks to be a lot of velocity left in the tank for Freeman, excited to see how he grows as a pitcher and in strength.
