2024 Fantasy Outlook
Freeman faces a make-or-break season in 2024 -- his final option year. After debuting in 2022, he was called up in mid-April last season only to hurt his shoulder in his first game with the big club. He would end up missing time in the second half with soreness in the other shoulder. Around the IL stint, Freeman struggled to a .594 OPS in the second half. While he's shown decent bat-to-ball skills in the big leagues, the extra-base power has been lacking (.339 SLG). His baserunning is a positive, and his potential should at least keep him on fantasy watch lists. Once a well-regarded prospect, Freeman has essentially performed at a replacement level in 88 career games to date, according to FanGraphs' WAR. He's trying to make the roster this spring as a utility option for the Guardians. Read Past Outlooks

Makes roster
Freeman will be on the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Freeman's defensive versatility likely played a big part in making the roster, as he hit a modest .286 with a .784 OPS over 11 Cactus League games. The 24-year-old provides cover around the infield and also saw ample playing time in center field during spring training. Center is one of the weak spots in the Guardians' lineup and the team is moving on from Myles Straw, who was waived. In addition to Freeman, Estevan Florial and Ramon Laureano could also see time in center, with Florial the only one of the trio who hits from the left side of the plate.

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.
