Fried has given up two runs over 11 innings with 11 strikeouts and no walks in two starts for Low-A Rome. "Everything is feeling good," Fried told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I'm very happy with where I am now."
The seventh overall pick in 2012 did not pitch in 2015 following Tommy John surgery in August of 2014. It's not clear how many innings he'll pitch this season and the Braves will likely be cautious with his comeback from surgery, but the results are encouraging after two starts.
