Alex Freeland Shows Maturity, Strong Spring Performance in Dodgers Roster Bid

Alex Freeland, a switch-hitter, is making a strong case for a Dodgers roster spot this spring. He's recorded three hits, including two doubles, in 14 at-bats, alongside six walks, resulting in a .429 on-base percentage. Freeland has started seven games, primarily at shortstop and second base. Manager Dave Roberts lauded his improved maturity and comfort, stating, "I just like the way he’s playing... He’s had a big offseason." Freeland is competing with Santiago Espinal and Hyeseong Kim for one of the open spots.
