Freeman has recorded four singles and a walk across 21 at-bats with two RBI and three runs scored, giving him a .190/.227/.190 slash line. Canada has yet to advance to the quarterfinals in their five years of participating. With Freeman on the club, they went 2-2 in 2023 and 0-3 in 2017 to be eliminated both years."
"Freeman was born and raised in Southern California, but feels a close relationship to Canada and plays for the country as a way of honoring his parents, and in particular, his late mother. Rosemary Joy Freeman was born in Toronto and passed away because of melanoma in 2000 when Freeman was 10 years old. Freeman's dad is also Canadian, being born in Windsor, Ontario."
Freddie Freeman committed to Team Canada for the 2026 World Baseball Classic but withdrew for personal reasons. Freeman previously represented Canada in 2017 and 2023 and remained eligible through his Canadian parents. He had expressed honor in representing Canada but had some health concerns after the 2025 season. Freeman has played six WBC games with four singles, one walk, two RBI and three runs across 21 at-bats, posting a .190/.227/.190 slash line. Canada has never reached the quarterfinals in five WBC appearances, going 2-2 in 2023 and 0-3 in 2017.
