Stars aligning for Yankees’ Max Fried as All-Star Game nears

With less than a month before the star match, Max Fried must like his chances of starting it.

The Lefty was sensational during its first 17 departures for the Yankees, going 10-2 with an MPM of 1.92 for a team that lost a winner of Cy Young, Gerrit Cole, against Tommy John surgery during spring training. Fried became the first winner of 10 major games on Wednesday, granting a single deserved point in seven heats while walking one and withdrawing seven while the Yankees recovered a series against the Reds with a 7-1 victory.

“Ten victories in half a season are not easy to do at any time, especially now,” said Aaron Boone, according to the yes. “It is just a testimony to its quality and its efficiency. Needless to say, it was huge for us. ”

As a skipper of a pennant thief in 2024, Boone has the honor of managing the American League during this year’s star match. The exhibition will take place on July 15 in Truist Park, the Maison des Braves.

Fried spent the first eight years of his great career in the League in Atlanta. To make it begin the classic in the middle of summer on the mound that he used to call would be obvious, right?

“Oh, it’s at the bottom of the road,” said Boone, who can make this call. “We will see. But make a case. “

Fried, who only followed Houston Hunter Brown at the time (1.88) who entered Thursday, took a similar position when he was asked what the beginning in this particular stars game would mean for him.

“I have a handful of departures to do before the stars break,” said Fried, yes. “Right now, right now, I’m not really looking forward to it. Many can happen by then.”

All-star twice with the brave, Fried has already taken advantage of a return experience in the annual confrontation between senior and juniors circuits.

He was on the alignment of the National League in 2022, when the match was played at Dodger Stadium. Fried went to the nearby high school, brilliant for the Harvard-Westlake school in Los Angeles.

However, Fried could not launch this match. He made his debut in the stars last season, launching an aimless round on the field of the life of the Rangers Globe after the recruit of the pirates of the time, Paul Skenes, started for the NL.

Now, Fried is about to start the star match – he should maintain his current rhythm – in his old playground when he was surrounded by his current manager, coaches and what is sure to be some teammates.

But he is not ready to think about it.

“I am really focused on my next in five or six days and I can take the ball and try to compete and win another match,” said Fried. “I’m going to take care of it when there is.”
