Marvin Freeman Biography

Marvin Freeman is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on April 10, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Marvin Freeman (born April 10 1963, in Chicago) is an ex- Major League Baseball pitcher who was a part of the team from 1986 until 1996 with the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies. He played as an ace pitcher as well as a reliever during his career.

Although he hasn’t played a in the last two years, Freeman won a spot in the starting rotation of the Rockies ahead of 1994, following Kent Bottenfield broke his hand in the latter part of February. Freeman ended the season with a record of 10-2 and an 2.80 ERA. If he had pitched enough time to earn the for the playoffs, his ERA would have placed him second only to Greg Maddux, who unanimously was awarded the Cy Young Award during that time. Freeman was fourth in the vote the highest position of any Rockies pitcher up until 2010, when Jimenez placed third. One of the most memorable moments in the season of Freeman occurred in the July 13 match with Braves Braves playing at Fulton County Stadium, in which, for his first win in seventeen games the Rockies finally defeated the Braves with the help of Freeman who dominated Tom Glavine by going seven innings, allowing only one run from eight hits as he struck out three. Freeman’s amazing performance was cut short by his 1994 MLB players strike.

Freeman was battling a sore elbow going into the 1995 season, and it affected his results on the field. His ERA sat at 8.53 after the first month of the season, and when he was demoted to the bullpen at the end of July, he sported a 3-7 record with a 5.90 ERA. Freeman would make one more spot start in Atlanta in August, but exited after just 2.1 innings and landed on the DL. He made two more relief appearances upon his return, and finished the season with a 5.89 ERA and had surgery on his elbow, forcing him to miss the Rockies’ short inaugural postseason run.

Freeman found himself back in the rotation at the onset of the 1996 campaign, and the results were a little better at first, but gradually got worse as the season wore on. His best outing came on June 12 at Coors Field against Houston, as he went seven scoreless innings and, along with relievers Darren Holmes and Ryan Hawblitzel, combined for the Rockies’ first shutout at Coors Field in 103 games in an 8-0 victory. Freeman was 6-4 with a 5.04 ERA through June of ’96, but he experienced a terrible second half (which allegedly included an incident at a “Jim Rome Tour Stop” on July 18, in which he supposedly made an obscene gesture and threw a baseball in Rome’s direction) and finished the season with the Rockies with a 7-9 record and a 6.04 ERA. Colorado placed him on waivers at the end of August, and he was claimed by his hometown White Sox, with whom he made just one uninspiring start there.

The nickname was “Starvin’ Marvin” for 180 pounds on a 6-foot framework, Freeman was employed at the Chicago’s John Norwood Lee Co. creating concert- quality violin bows while he was enrolled at Chicago Vocational High School. Freeman played in the collegiate level as a student at Jackson State University. The year 1983 was the first time he was a player in college summer baseball for the Chatham A’s of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He was selected as the second choice from the Philadelphia Phillies in 1984. The Philadelphia Phillies made him MLB debut on the field in 1986, and won his debut game against New York Mets on September 21 the 21st of September, 1986. Freeman was awarded his first ever decision of his career (second starting) on the same day that his first child was born.

Freeman started his career as a professional in the year 1984, after being selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the second round of the amateur draft from Jackson State University. The Phillies initially drafted him to the Montreal Expos in the ninth round of the draft in 1981 however, he did not make the cut. Freeman was a rookie that year playing short-season A-ball with Bend in the Northwest league, finishing 8-5, with the 2.61 ERA. He gave up just 64 hits over 89.2 innings, and managed to walk 5.2 batters for every nine. This would be a consistent pattern throughout his minor league career, since Marvin never had a K/BB ratio that was greater than 1.74 in any given season, and frequently had more batters walked than struck out, such as the 1985 season at Reading which, after being elevated to AA, he continued to strike out 52 batters, while striking out only 35. However, the Phillies noticed something different that was not quite right about this young lefty since he was more or less ineffective for his first couple of years in the minor leagues.

After recording a win-loss record of 13-6 with an ERA of 4.03 in 27 games in the AA league in 1986, Freeman was invited for a move to the major leagues. He began his career in the Phillies on the 16th of September. In three games the pitcher went 2-0 and an 2.25 ERA, despite walking more batters (10) than striking out (8). The first time he won was on the day their first child was born. Freeman would play for three and a half seasons in his Phillies organization, moving from AAA in addition to the Majors (and throw a no-hitter to his fellow Maine Guides in the process) prior to being transferred with the Atlanta Braves for Joe Boever prior to the deadline in 1990.

During his time with the Braves, Freeman began to find a level of control that he never previously experienced during his professional career, as he posted a K/BB ratio of over 2-to-1 for the first time. He was also used primarily as a reliever, which brought a decent amount of success to the lanky right-hander in his late-20s. He made 101 regular season appearances for Atlanta from 1990–92, accruing a 9-5 record with a 3.16 ERA with 87 strikeouts compared to 45 walks. He was a very solid contributor to two teams that went to the World Series, though he didn’t have great success in the postseason (14.73 ERA in 3 appearances during the ’92 NLCS). Freeman came back down to earth a bit in 1993, as his ERA rose to 6.08 and he only pitched in 21 games, partly due to injuries. He was released by the Braves after the season, and signed by the Colorado Rockies four days later.
