2023 Fantasy Outlook
Freeman made his major-league debut in 2022, logging a .247/.314/.286 slash line with three doubles, three RBI and a stolen base across 86 plate appearances. He was better with a .279/.371/.364 line in 72 games with Triple-A Columbus, but he added only six home runs and seven doubles there. A lack of over-the-fence power is a known issue, but he had no trouble racking up steals and doubles at the lower levels of the minors. His 7.8 percent walk rate at Triple-A was his best mark, and paired with a 9.3 percent strikeout rate, it's clear he's an effective contact hitter. He'll likely play the bulk of his age-24 campaign at Triple-A again -- perhaps a second season at the level will yield improved results, especially since the Guardians' infield looks pretty much set when the major-league roster is healthy.

Solid off bench Saturday
Freeman went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Freeman entered the game after Amed Rosario exited with left knee soreness. Playing time has been sparse for Freeman since his May 6 recall -- this was just the ninth game he's appeared in since that date. He's batting .286 with two doubles, two walks and three runs scored through 30 plate appearances on the year. If Rosario is forced to miss time, some combination of Freeman, Gabriel Arias and Brayan Rocchio would likely compete to fill the void at shortstop.

Stat Review
How does Tyler Freeman compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2020
2019
It's not fair that Freeman missed over half the season with a left shoulder injury that ended up requiring surgery in August, and it's not fair that his dynasty stock has taken a subsequent hit, but that's the reality. He was once again a doubles machine (14 in 41 games) who sprayed lasers to all fields and logged an elite batting average (.323) with an elite strikeout rate (11.7%). However, his over-the-fence power and patience haven't improved yet in games, and he has grown less aggressive on the bases. Freeman hit two home runs with a 4.4 BB% and four steals on six attempts, and while he's still too young (turns 23 in May) to be considered a finished product, we can't say with any certainty that more power is coming or that he will be a 15-steal threat in the majors. A .300 hitter who scores around 90 runs and nets 25 HR+SB seems like a fair peak season to hope for, but his floor is closer to 15 HR+SB, and at that point, he wouldn't be a lock to get everyday playing time at second base. Andres Gimenez, Gabriel Arias and Owen Miller are more likely to get looks at the keystone this season, at least early on, but now that he is on the 40-man roster, Freeman could force his way into the mix in the second half.
