The Texas Rangers have plenty of young talent heading into spring training, but one infielder in particular is hoping to continue developing by earning more time at the plate.

Third baseman Cody Freeman played out his rookie year with the Rangers during their 2025 campaign, where he slashed .228/.258/.342 with a clean .600 OPS, recording three homers and 15 RBIs through 36 games. However, while spending the remainder of his time in Triple-A, he slashed .336/.382/.549 alongside a .931 OPS, 19 home runs and 71 RBIs.
