Fri Apr 7 2023 | 00:27 | Kyle Freeland Shuts Down Nationals Thursday |
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland pitched a gem Thursday, picking up his second win of the season in a 1-0 pitcher's duel against the Washington Nationals. Freeland allowed four hits and two walks while striking out five over 6 innings. The lefty has now thrown 12 scoreless innings to begin his 2023 campaign, results which will likely see his roster percentage soar in the coming days. Buyer beware though, as Freeland induced only four whiffs today and had a paltry 17% CSW. The ugly underlying stats combined with his home park being Coors Field makes it difficult to trust what Freeland is doing right now, but in the right matchup on the road he could be useful. |

Mon Feb 13 2023 | 16:32 | Kyle Freeland To Pitch In World Baseball Classic |
Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland has been officially named to the roster for Team USA for the upcoming 2023 World Baseball Classic. He will be replacing New York Yankees left-handed starter Nestor Cortes, who had to drop out after suffering a Grade 2 hamstring strain. The 29-year-old Freeland had a 4.53 ERA (4.21 FIP), 1.41 WHIP and weak 17.1 percent strikeout rate in 31 starts covering 174 2/3 innings for the Rockies in his sixth season with the team in 2022. Like most Rockies pitchers, Freeland was much better on the road than at hitter-friendly Coors Field last year, and that's likely to continue being the case. The low strikeout numbers make him a pitcher to avoid in most mixed leagues. |

Sat Jul 30 2022 | 18:19 | Rockies Holding Onto Kyle Freeland, Antonio Senzatela, German Marquez, |
The Colorado Rockies are reportedly set to hold onto starting pitchers Kyle Freeland, Antonio Senzatela, and German Marquez. This news comes on the heels of earlier news that the Rockies were extending closer Daniel Bard and not planning to trade first baseman C.J. Cron. The Rockies obviously think they are very close to competing and want to keep their top assets around. For Rockies fans, this news may sting a bit as just last season the Rockies kept Trevor Story around only for him to walk in free agency. Fortunately, all the players the Rockies are reportedly keeping this season are under contract at least through next year. For the three starters, this news means their fantasy value remains limited to streamer option only. |

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland was given a no-decision on Wednesday after walking a pair of batters and striking out one over one-plus inning.

The 28-year-old southpaw owns a 4.22 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 81:25 K/BB ratio over 91 2/3 innings (18 starts) on the year. |
