Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Rogelio Castillo
Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Round 15
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Strong build. Square shoulders. Thick, barrel chested. Muscular thighs and legs. Future strength gains minimal.
Delivery & Mechanics: Throws from a high 3/4 arm-slot; Starts with his glove near his face, raises his left leg near chest and plants it forward as he strides to the plate. Long arm action. Utilizes his height for max extension on his pitches that allows for some deception. Good balance on follow-through.
Fastball: Sits at 92-95 touching 97. Throws downhill. Natural tail and sink. Whip-like with riding life at upper end of velocity. Airs it out. Grade: 55
Curveball: Late, sharp bite. Throws with velocity. Potential difference maker with more pro instruction. Grade: 50
Control and Command: Freeman can pound the zone with his fastball and shows he can climb the ladder. Will need to throw the curveball consistently in the zone. Shows well below-average command at present. Control: 30 | Command: 30
Overall: Freeman's fastball and curve will carry him through the low minors but will need to continue to work on consistency and command as he is prone to wildness. Quite the find in the 15th round for Chicago. He has very good work ethic that should carry him far.
