Freddie Freeman played in his first spring training game with the Dodgers and got one hit in two at-bats. Pitcher Walker Buehler was sharp in his spring debut.
manager said with a grin.Dodgers’ 10-8 lossFreeman went one for two while batting third — Roberts said he envisions Freeman batting either second or third this season — and slapped a first-inning single the other way to left field after being serenaded with chants of “Freddie! Freddie!” by the crowd.“Usually Dodger fans aren’t chanting my name,” joked Freeman, the former Atlanta Braves star who finalized a six-year, $162-million contract with the Dodgers on Friday.
Roberts believes Freeman, who had previously spent his entire professional career with the Braves after being drafted out of Orange El Modena High in 2007, is getting comfortable with his new surroundings, too. “I’ve been getting as much work as I can on the back fields but nothing’s like a game,” said Freeman, who beat out a potential double-play grounder in his second at-bat. “So it was nice to get a couple of ABs.”
It was a promising first step for Buehler, who threw a career-high 207 ⅔ innings last season while making a major league-most 33 starts. He also made four postseason starts, including two on short rest for the first time in his career.
