Overview
A fan-favorite for the Atlanta Braves, Freddie Freeman has put together a strong MLB career with multiple All-Star nods. Freddie Freeman rookie cards don't see the same attention given to his younger teammates, like Ronald Acuna and Ozzie Albies, but they still command respect in the hobby world.
Selected out of high school in the second round of the 2007 MLB Draft, Freddie Freeman would get his call up to the majors in 2010. Although he was named the starter at first base in 2011, Freeman did not have his breakout season until 2013, when he was named an All-Star and finished 5th in the voting for NL MVP.
