Fried, 22, has a 4.25 ERA and 57:34 K:BB through 59.1 innings for Low-A Rome.
Not surprisingly, Fried has struggled with his command after missing all of the 2015 campaign following Tommy John surgery. Still, he is nearly averaging a strikeout per inning at this level, and getting more ground ball outs than fly outs. Fried was known to induce a bevy of ground balls prior to the injury.
