"I think the at-bat quality is still good. He's not throwing out the hits. But even just kind of how he's going about each day with not having success, for me, shows growth. So, I'm still high on him."
"After a strong start to the Cactus League season, he was not able to sustain it all the way through the schedule. While Freeland still ranks among the league leaders in walks, he has recorded just one in his last six games after averaging one per game in his first nine appearances."
Alex Freeland, the Dodgers' No. 8 overall prospect, has been competing for an Opening Day roster spot this spring. He demonstrates strong at-bat quality and consistently gets on base through walks, though hits have been scarce with just one in nine appearances. Manager Dave Roberts remains impressed by Freeland's daily attitude and approach despite the lack of success. After a strong start to the Cactus League season, Freeland's performance declined, recording fewer walks in recent games. He competes with Hyeseong Kim for the second base position vacated by Tommy Edman's injury. While Freeland could make the Opening Day roster, he would likely be displaced once Edman returns, which the Dodgers expect to take considerable time.
