2023 Fantasy Outlook
Writing a player capsule for a Rockies pitcher could easily become a MadLib template. (Insert pitcher) struggles at home but does better away from the toils of pitching at Coors as (same pitcher) has immensely better results on the road. Stream (same pitcher) on the road when the matchup is right while benching him whenever possible at Coors unless he is facing Oakland or Pittsburgh. That about sums up Freeland, but throw in the unusual issue the lefty has against fellow lefties and you get a giant mess who somehow won nine games last season around a 4.53 ERA. He pitched a full run better by ERA after the break going 5-4, but the WHIP and low strikeouts make him just about impossible to roster in most draft formats. 2018 was fun when it happened, but it will not happen again. The mid-4's ERA was fine last decade, but in this new run environment, 4.5 is the new 5.00. Avoid. Read Past Outlooks

Lasts seven innings in tough loss
Freeland (4-7) was handed another loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out one over seven innings.
ANALYSIS
Freeland had a perfect game going until MJ Melendez broke it up with a double in the fifth. Michael Massey drove Melendez home two batters later with a base hit to give the Royals a lead they would never relinquish. Freeland continued to move through the order but was eventually pulled after squandering a leadoff home run in the eighth to Maikel Garcia. The 30-year-old tied his season high by going seven innings and showed great control, although he didn't generate a whole lot of whiffs. It was certainly a tough-luck loss for Freeland, who picked up his last win May. 14. He now sits at a 4.06 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB over 71 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Padres next weekend.

2015
In Kyle Freeland's peak 2018 season, he posted a 2.85 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 20.5% K%, and 8.3% BB% in 202.1 innings. Unfortunately, Freeland dealt with shoulder, hamstring, finger, foot, and hip issues in 2021. Freeland fared decently in 2021 with a 4.33 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 20.4% K%, and 7.4% BB% in 120.2 innings. In Freeland's best seasons (2018 and 2021), the LOB% ended at 82.8% and 78.9%, so the ERA could regress in 2022. Freeland's slider boasted the highest SwStr% of his career at 18.3% versus a career rate of 13.3%. On Baseball Savant, they have Freeland's slider as a curve, and it's his best pitch with a .214 wOBA. Freeland lowered the four-seam usage the past two seasons from 35.5% to 23.5%. That led to a .423 SLG and .328 wOBA the past two seasons with near-identical results of .424 SLG and .327 wOBA (2017-2019). Overall, Freeland is a streamer with limited upside.
