Completion is anticipated in Fall 2025.

"It's truly an honor for Ashley and me to give back to the University of Evansville and support this baseball program," said Kyle Freeland, a standout pitcher for the Colorado Rockies and former UE baseball player. "I owe so much of my development as a player and a person to my time at UE and Coach Wes Carroll. This gift is our way of saying thank you and ensuring future Purple Aces have the tools and environment to reach their potential. We can't wait to see this vision become a reality."
