Biographical Information

Sam Freeman was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 32nd round of the 2008 amateur draft. He was signed by scout Joe Almaraz and made his pro debut that summer. Freeman pitched in the major leagues from 2012-2020 with various teams. Though primarily working at the major league level, he spent some time in the minors every season except 2020. Whether this was due to rehabbing injuries or poor performance is unknown. For his major league career, he went 8-7 with an ERA of 3.58 in 271 appearances. Freeman completed his playing career in 2023 with the Gastonia Honey Hunters of the independent Atlantic League.
