He’s all grown up. But in his heart, “K-Free” will always be The Colorado Kid.
When the lefty takes the mound against the Nationals on Thursday afternoon at Coors Field, the Thomas Jefferson High School graduate will become the first pitcher in Rockies history to start three home openers.
Freeland commemorated his debut with another tattoo. This one features a ticket stub stamped 040717 — April 7, 2017.including no-hitting the White Sox for 8 1/3 inningsFreeland’s parents, Don and Susan, raised their family in a cul-de-sac in the Hampden Heights neighborhood of southeast Denver. Susan is still a secretary at Holm Elementary School where her son attended school.
Freeland, and his wife, Ashley, have become ardent supporters and fundraisers for Special Olympics Colorado. Last year, Freeland was the Rockies’ nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award, Major League Baseball’s distinguished humanitarian award. “He’s been ever since he was old enough to walk and compete with his older brother,” Don said. “His brother is three years older, but Kyle always wanted to keep up with his brother and his brother’s teammates. When he was 6 or 7, Kyle would practice with his older brother’s team.”“I feed off it, absolutely, whether it’s at home or on the road,” he said.
Last Friday, in the Rockies’ 4-1 win at San Diego, Freeland held the Padres’ powerful lineup to three hits over six scoreless innings.
