The Atlanta Braves are currently involved in a tightly contested race atop the National League East standings. While their playoff hopes will get some resolution over the coming weeks, Braves ace Max Fried is hoping to put the finishing touches on a Cy Young campaign during that span as well. Fried has been battling with Sandy Alcantara and Julio Urias over the past few months, and it looks like he has a decent shot at winning the award.
Fried has taken another step forward this season with a strong 2022 campaign, and has been one of the main reasons for Atlanta’s success this season.
