Marvin Freeman (born April 10, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1986 to 1996 for the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies. He worked as both a starting pitcher and a reliever in his career. He is currently an assistant baseball coach at Rich Central High School in Olympia Fields, Illinois. Freeman won his first career decision (second start) on the day his first child was born.[1]
Nicknamed "Starvin' Marvin" for 180 pounds on a 6-6 frame, Freeman worked at Chicago's John Norwood Lee Co. making concert-quality violin bows. Freeman played collegiately at Jackson State University. He now has 2 children. His son, Justin Freeman is a promising candidate to follow him in the major leagues.
