Heyward is reunited with Freddie Freeman, a friend since they were high school stars, and the outfielder’s work to revive his hitting is impressing the first baseman.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Get yourself a hype man like Jason Heyward has in Freddie Freeman.
But their friendship started well before that. They were teammates in the minor leagues, Freeman measuring himself against the organization’s top prospect and thinking, “I’ve got to do everything good so I can stay with Jason.” Heyward calls it “super cool” that the two have been reunited eight years after he was traded by the Braves to the Cardinals. Heyward arrived in Arizona ahead of Freeman and sent him a video of their side-by-side lockers at Camelback Ranch.
The 33-year-old Heyward had to face the harsh reality that his playing days might be over if no other team came calling. “I put Jason’s name on the radar then I put it on again and just kept going and going and going,” Freeman said. “I just made sure to let Andrew know how wonderful of a man that guy is.”
