Baseball: Harvard-Westlake's Max Fried's Winter Debut is Impressive [VIDEO]
The Los Angeles Times gives kudos to the local left-hander.
Left-hander Max Fried of Studio City Harvard-Westlake had his first pitching appearance of the winter on Saturday at West Ranch against Santa Monica. He threw one inning and ended his appearance with a 95 mph fastball that struck out the batter.
Not bad for someone who was hit in the face by a 97 mph fastball from teammate Lucas Giolito during a scrimmage earlier in the week that left him with a black eye and injured nose.
Fried, who signed with UCLA, is expected to be a first-round draft pick in June, along with Giolito.
