Montgomery is Fried with lesser stuff. Very interested to see Fried over an extended outing, and hopefully to get some data on his change.

Is his change best pitch?

No idea, we haven't seen it. The curve is probably the best pitch on the Braves roster right now though. I could hang an easy 65 on it, maybe better.

After 1 batter it's apparent his 93 fastball was due to letting it fly out of the BP.

Looks like he is going to sit around 90 as a SP. That might work if the change is good and the control is plus.

If not, well, he won't make it as a SP with that velo.

Let's see a few more in innings, Baseball America watched his last start and he sat 89-91 first inning and his last 4 he sat 92-94 touching 96.

I'd always heard low 90's around 92-94 and could reach back for some more...his curve at times has been described as one of the best in the minors...for those that might not know but most do I'm sure, Fried and Giolito were high school teammates one being the top right handed arm in HS and Fried being one of the best left handed ones...this was all before his Tommy John however

that's what happens to 90 MPH fastballs
 
You know what the Braves really need to abandon completely?

The idea of "Take a little off, go for control and command, control and command is better than hot stuff".
