Marvin Freeman (born April 10, 1963) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1986 to 1996 for the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies.

After posting a win–loss record of 13–6 and an ERA of 4.03 in 27 starts in AA in 1986, Freeman got the call to join the big club, debuting with the Phillies on September 16.

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.

He was a very solid contributor to two teams that went to the World Series, though he didn't have great success in the postseason (14.73 ERA in 3 appearances during the '92 NLCS).

Had he pitched enough innings to qualify, that ERA would have been second behind only Greg Maddux, who unanimously won the Cy Young Award that season.

He made two more relief appearances upon his return, and finished the season with a 5.89 ERA and had surgery on his elbow, forcing him to miss the Rockies' short inaugural postseason run.

Freeman found himself back in the rotation at the onset of the 1996 campaign, and the results were a little better at first, but gradually got worse as the season wore on.

Freeman was 6-4 with a 5.04 ERA through June of '96, but he experienced a terrible second half (which allegedly included an incident at a "Jim Rome Tour Stop" on July 18, in which he supposedly made an obscene gesture and threw a baseball in Rome's direction) and finished the season with the Rockies with a 7-9 record and a 6.04 ERA.

"[citation needed] Still, Rockies fans will always remember his terrific 1994 season for an upstart club, as evidenced by their playoff berth the next year.
