I know Freeman he is a good friend. He never had any surgery. He made visits to UK before Coach Cohen left. He has had offers from many schools including D1, but he decided on Wabash Valley in Illinois.

First of all, Freeman does break 80 on his fastball, saying otherwise is quite ridiculous. He breaks 80 a lot, and does so quite easily. In fact, he was clocked at regions last year (as a junior) in the upper 80s. He never had surgery on his arm, but Pikeville was the first game of the year. So why would he even attempt to throw with everything? He had an offer on the table from UK early in his high school career, however, Cohen left and the offer left with him. Many, many, many, D1 schools have made him offers. But, he decided on Wabash Valley Junior College because there he can play two years, have the option to get a FULL ride to a D1, and/or go professional. Wabash has sent over 20+ players to the professionals and even more to higher collegiate baseball programs. No one other than Freeman knows whether Wabash hopes to use him as a hard-hitting firstbaseman, as a pitcher, or both. The kid is that versatile. And again, if you don't believe in the speed of his fastball just ask the hitters from Perry Central who had to face him in the last inning of region last year......
