2022 Fantasy Outlook
Fried picked up where he left off in 2020, and by season's end, he had a World Series ring. The southpaw will likely find himself in the top 15-20 pitcher conversation this draft season. Fried worked six or more complete innings 19 times in 2021 -- including two complete-game shutouts -- earning a decision in 14 of those 19 outings with his usual stinginess with walks and home runs thanks to his ability to generate groundballs in bunches. His postseason was bookended by six-inning scoreless outings, holding up a quality start and two unsightly outings against Houston and Los Angeles. It is worth watching to see how Fried bounces back from working nearly 195 innings in 2021, but that is really the only area of any concern with this talented lefty. Fried's curveball continues to be his meal ticket as the league has hit .185 off the pitch over the past three seasons with just four homers. Read Past Outlooks

Settles for quality start
Fried didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Brewers, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.
ANALYSIS
The southpaw got staked to a 4-0 lead in the third inning and exited with his team still ahead, but the Atlanta bullpen blew leads in the ninth, 10th and finally the 11th inning. Fried still delivered his fifth straight quality start, and he'll take a 3.31 ERA and 47:6 K:BB through 49 innings into his next outing.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Max Fried

Todd Zola ranks the week's starting pitching as warming weather is contributing to more scoring. Sugar Shane McClanahan only has one start, but still tops the AL rankings.

Wins have been hard to come by this season. Jason Collette examines early run-support numbers and notes pitchers that have enjoyed good fortune in that regard, and those that have not, like Corbin Burnes.

Todd Zola ranks the week's starting pitching as two-start Brandon Woodruff is looking good after a rough opener.

Manny Machado is a hot bat to target, as he’s carrying a .418 wOBA against righties, has multiple hits in three of four, and has posted double-digit FanDuel points in four straight games.

Fried slid seamlessly into the ace role for Atlanta after Mike Soroka went down with an Achilles tear in early August. The lefty was a perfect 7-0 during the regular season, allowing a mere two homers in 56 innings (4.9% HR/FB). He does not throw his fastball particularly hard or with much spin, but it's effective nonetheless and does its job setting up one of the best curveballs in the game. Fried's curveball had a 31.2 Whiff% in 2020, with opponents combining to hit just .175 against the pitch. While his third pitch is another variation of the breaker -- a slider -- it's good enough and distinct enough that it gives him a third unique look, compensating for the lack of a fully developed changeup. His O-Swing% and SwStr% portend a better strikeout rate than his 22.3% mark from last season and the team context is favorable, so expect the 27-year-old to be a popular SP2 target during draft season.
