Atlanta Braves left-handed pitching prospect, Max Fried, pitched in a game on Friday afternoon and threw very, very well.
The 22-year-old was acquired by the Braves when they traded Justin Upton to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Max Fried, Jace Peterson, Dustin Peterson, and Mallex Smith. Obviously you’ve heard the names Jace Peterson and Mallex Smith from this trade, but according to many media outlets, the centerpiece of the deal was Fried.
