The day after David Freese signed with the Pirates, he joined his new teammates in Spring Training for a round of batting practice at McKechnie Field, while the rest of the team was on the road for that afternoon’s game. I decided to stick around at McKechnie, getting some photos of Freese, and watching his batting practice session, before heading over to Pirate City.
At one point, they asked Freese how many more rounds he wanted to go. Freese asked the group — which included Andrew McCutchen, Gregory Polanco, Starling Marte, and Jung Ho Kang — how many rounds of batting practice they usually took.
