Freeland, 23, has a 4.09 ERA and 50:15 K:BB in 61.2 innings since being promoted to Triple-A.
Freeland's strikeout rate has improved since being promoted from Double-A, and he is still inducing a bevy of ground balls. That being said, opposing batters are hitting .288 against him at Triple-A. Home runs have also been an issue in 2016, as he has allowed 14 dingers in 24 starts. If Freeland cannot consistently keep the ball down, he will be punished, particularly in the thin air in Colorado.
