Max Fried News
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried looked like his old self in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Marlins. Fried made the most of a favorable matchup, pitching a complete-game shutout with three hits, no walks, and six strikeouts on just 92 pitches. It was a great outing for the 30-year-old, who has struggled out of the gate this season. He is now 2-0 with a 4.97 ERA in his first five starts. He will look to build on his success in his next projected start, which will be at a middling Mariners lineup.
Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried allowed three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one over 2/3 of an inning in Saturday's 12-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Fried was wild to start Saturday's game, walking three batters and throwing 43 pitches before being removed from the game. The 30-year-old is off to a brutal start in 2024 and currently owns a 40.50 ERA. He was terrific in 14 starts in 2023, posting a 2.55 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 80:18 K: BB through 77 2/3 innings. Fried will look to bounce back in Friday's home start against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried took the loss on Monday in a 7-3 Grapefruit League game versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Although he took the loss, the veteran pitched well. The southpaw hadn't given up a run through five innings of work, but allowed four singles and a sac fly that turned into four runs (three earned) in the sixth inning. The 30-year-old walked just one while striking out four. It was a nice bounce-back after a rough start his last time out, and the former All-Star will look to build some momentum heading into the start of the regular season.

Hamstring and forearm injuries limited Max Fried to just 14 starts in 2023. When on the mound, Fried was still excellent with an 8-1 W-L record, 2.55 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 80ks (77.2 IP). Fried had remained relatively healthy in recent seasons as his 572.2 IP between 2019 and 2022 were the 19th most in baseball. He put up a 3.06 ERA in that period so has been consistently brilliant. Despite the injuries, Fried improved his strikeout numbers and his 25.7% K% was a career-high as a full-time starter. That also ranked in the 67th percentile so he shouldn't be overlooked for the pitchers with elite strikeout rates. His underlying numbers support another low ERA season in 2024. Fried had a 3.10 xFIP and 3.38 SIERA last season and now has a 3.23 xFIP and 3.50 SIERA over the last three years. The downside to drafting Fried is he's only reached 166.0 IP once in the Majors (185.1 IP in 2022). However, Fried did have 193.1 IP in 2021 including the postseason. Assuming he can stay healthy, Fried can be a top-five starting pitcher. Taking him as an SP1 comes with risk but it could pay off significantly.
