Max Fried “Ready to Surge in 2017” says MLB Pipeline

Tommy John may have slowed him down, but MLB Pipeline believes there is nothing that can be done to stop the rise of Max Fried. Jonathan Mayo discussed Fried with MLB Network as one of his 10 picks to surge in 2017, and called him a guy with a “power fastball and a really good true curve from the left side”. Those who read our recently-released Top Prospects for 2017 know just how much faith we here at Talking Chop have in Fried and with his injury-stunted 2 years behind him it seems he will again pop back onto the radars of most of the top prospect outlets.
