I've been vocal about Fried being my favorite pitching prospect the last two years. So far, I really like what I see!

Ahh cmon Fried gotta let the IF get that one
There ya go kid nice composure
Last fastball was 97mph
Quite the range today in that pitch.
We only have data on Zito's curve from 2007 and later when he was already 29, but his curve had 11 inches of drop, and in later years lost an inch of drop and added 4+ inches of horizontal movement.
It stands to reason a younger Zito threw it a bit harder and may have had more movement.
If Zito's was a 75/80, and Newk's is a 60, Fried's is a 65.

How many pitches is has he thrown (can't watch the game)?
If he has 97 in him, how do you get his avg up to 94-95? Strength training, endurance, or does it come naturally with age?
Frieds always been one of our best prospects. Only reason he didn't dominate this year is because of the blisters.
