Max Fried starting Braves' intrasquad game
Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried is scheduled to start Tuesday's intrasquad game at Truist Park.
What It Means:
Fried is penciled in to start the Braves' second game of the season on July 25 against the New York Mets. He had the second-most wins (17) in the National League last year in his first full season in the majors, with a 4.02 ERA and 173 strikeouts over 165 2/3 innings. Braves general manager Alex Anthopolous previously said that the starters will be limited to 2-4 innings in their first couple turns in the rotation. Mike Soroka is expected to start the Braves' first game and then Fried should be followed up by Mike Foltynewicz and Sean Newcomb, respectively.
numberFire's models expect Fried to record a 3.61 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 62 strikeouts and 20 walks over 60 innings this season.
