2021 Stats
Freeman was born in Fountain Valley, California. Freeman’s parents are both from Ontario, Canada. His mother was from Peterborough, while his father was from Windsor.[1] Because both Freeman’s parents were born in Canada, Freeman holds Canadian citizenship in addition to US citizenship.
He grew up as a fan of the Los Angeles Angels. At the age of six, Freeman practiced with Little League ballplayers from Orange, Calif., who were twice his age. At the age of seven, he was placed in the team of nine-year-olds. When Freeman himself turned nine, he was assigned to play with a team of twelve-year-olds. Freeman attended El Modena High School, where he was a third baseman and pitcher. As a senior in 2007, Freeman hit for a .417 batting average and had a 6–1 win-loss record as a pitcher. The Orange County Register named him their 2007 Player of the Year. He signed a letter of intent with Cal State Fullerton.
Dodgers
Much of the rumor surrounding the Dodgers and Freddie Freeman this offseason seemed difficult to decipher, as it seemed fitting that the former MVP first baseman would eventually return to Atlanta, where he is a franchise icon.
The fit seemed right, especially because Freeman is wildly popular, having just won a World Series with the Braves, a highly profitable team based on his own public financial disclosures.
But it became clear on Monday that Freeman would not be returning to the Braves, who instead traded first base play for AK’s Matt Olsson. Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos shed tears during his scandal with reporters, and according to Chris Willis at Battery Power, “It’s been four years here, I’m entering my fifth, it’s the hardest decision and transaction I’ve ever made. I did have to make.”
Jeff Schultz in The Athletic said that the brave public relations loss to Freeman was far worse than the disaster. “The Braves are a lesser team today because Liberty Media is as emotionally invested in its baseball team as a canned food company in its line of pork and beans,” Schultz wrote.
