SN: What’s one of your first baseball memories? FREELAND: I’m playing tee ball growing up, my dad being a coach and playing with all my friends at a local field by my house. In tee ball, before we got into coach-pitch, I played first base because I was one of the only lefties on the team. My brother was three years older than me, so I would always be at their practices. So I kind of learned at a higher level and kind of get a little bit of an edge.

What’s the last show you binge-watched? FREELAND: The last show I binge-watched was “Game of Thrones,” to get all caught up and ready for the new season. I had watched a multiple seasons of it, and my girlfriend hadn’t seen any of it, so I went back all the way to the beginning of the series with her. It’s definitely time-consuming, with how long those episodes are. 

What’s your favorite free-time activity?  FREELAND: Playing golf. I’ve got a 2 handicap. Been playing for quite a long time. That’s my, kind of, release from baseball. Get my mind off baseball.

How far do you hit the ball off the tee? FREELAND: In Colorado, I hit the ball pretty far. I probably venture to say I carry it about 320 to 330 in Colorado, and here (Phoenix) about 300 yards or so.

What’s one talent you’d most like to have? FREELAND: I don’t know. That’s kind of a brain buster. 

What was your first job?  FREELAND: Baseball was my first job. Growing up, everything was always surrounded baseball, and I never really had time to go work for a little bit of money.

What’s best purchase you’ve ever made?  FREELAND: I would say my house, but that’s kind of a necessity. I’d probably say my car, that’s probably my best and favorite purchase. It’s a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. I’ve had it since right after I was drafted, so the fall of 2014. That was my first bonus purchase.

Who’s one of your favorite Twitter follows? FREELAND: Oh, what’s his name? Dan Haren. He’s a good follow. I started following him and his stuff just cracks me up, how creative he is.
