 Freeman would spend three and a half more seasons with the Phillies organization, bouncing between AAA and the majors (and throwing a no-hitter for the Maine Guides in the process), before being traded to the Atlanta Braves for Joe Boever before the deadline in 1990.During his time with the Braves, Freeman began to find a level of control that he never previously experienced during his professional career, as he posted a K/BB ratio of over 2-to-1 for the first time.He was also used primarily as a reliever, which brought a decent amount of success to the lanky right-hander in his late-20s.
