Max Fried is in the spotlight as the MLB season gets nearer and nearer. There are 100 days remaining before the Opening Day, which comes a little sooner thanks to baseball's trip to Japan in late March.
Until Opening Day, Sportskeeda will count down with featured players, highlighting what they've done in the past and some expectations for how they'll do in 2025. Fried comes in as the first, or 100th, player on the list.
Fried signed the largest contract in MLB history for a left-handed pitcher in free agency, setting the table for a big season. In his career, he's been as dependable as anyone else.
Since making his MLB debut in August 2017, Fried has recorded the 15th-most fWAR out of all starting pitchers (minimum 800 innings). He also has an ERA of 3.06, which is sixth-best among pitchers who have at least 800 innings.
