Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Max Fried has thrown 16,025 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (93mph) and Sinker (93mph), also mixing in a Slider (81mph), Curve (75mph), Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Change (84mph).


In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their cutter is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair and has strong cutting action. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has heavy sinking action, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run and has well above average velo. Their slider sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has sweeping glove-side movement and generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves. Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has well above average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their change is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone and is slightly firmer than usual.
