Fried attended Montclair College Preparatory School in Van Nuys (Los Angeles) where he played basketball, football and baseball. He was part of the 2009 Maccabiah Games Team USA Juniors gold medal winning baseball team.
Fried made his professional debut in 2012 for the Arizona League Padres. He spent the entire season there, going 0-1 with a 3.57 ERA and 17.2 innings pitched. In 2013, Fried played for Fort Wayne TinCaps, compiling a 6-7 record with a 3.49 ERA in 23 games. By MLBPipeline, Fried was the 43rd-best minor league prospect. Fried was also named an All Star by MLBPipeline, the Padres Organization. Baseball America ranked Fried’s curveball as the best of the Padres minor league system.
Fried throws a 94–96 mph fastball, two types of a “plus” curveball (which he patterned after that of Sandy Koufax), and a change-up.
At the end of the 2017 season, Fried joined the Peoria Javelinas of the Arizona Fall League, for whom he was named league Player of the Week on October 31. He led the league with 32 strikeouts in 26 innings (3rd in the league), and was 3–1 with a 1.73 ERA (6th in the league) in six starts. He ranked first among starters with a .163 opponents’ average, was second in fewest-baserunners-allowed-per-nine-innings (7.96), and was named to the AFL’s Top Prospects Team. Baseball America rated him # 3 on the AFL Hot Sheet. In December, Braves manager Brian Snitker said that he might look at Fried, Lucas Sims, or another pitcher as the team’s fifth starter in 2018.
Fried was called up to the Atlanta Braves on August 5, 2017. He was called up straight from Class Double-A to the big leagues, without pitching in Triple-A. He debuted on August 8, throwing two scoreless innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, displaying what David O’Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called “a devastating curveball”. Two weeks later, Fried returned to the minor leagues, joining the AAA Gwinnett Braves. In 26 innings pitched for the Braves for the season, he was 1–1 with a 3.81 ERA.
