Atlanta Braves
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Max Fried threw 12,583 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph) and Curve (74mph), also mixing in a Slider (85mph), Change (86mph) and Sinker (93mph).
In 2023, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is straight as an arrow, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has well above average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, has slight glove-side movement and has slightly below average velo. Their slider generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. 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, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups and is much firmer than usual. Their sinker generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has well above average velo.
