Ian Anderson Call Up, Fried Outclassing Cole, Hard Hitting Hitters & More
DOB and EOF welcome Ian Anderson to the big leagues! The 22-year-old righty will make his MLB debut in the series opener against New York (:15). What can we expect from Anderson's first career start? Another round of good news was announced by the Braves; Ronald Acuna Jr. was reinstated to the team's active roster after spending 10 days on the IL (4:45). Anderson takes the stage against, arguably, the best pitcher in the league, Gerrit Cole. Though his play speaks for itself, is the AL Cy Young runner-up being outperformed this season by Max Fried (12:45)? The guys examine Fried's climb to the top of Atlanta's rotation, his current numbers compared to Mike Soroka's 2019 metrics (26:00), and the advance analytics that support him being better than Cole so far this year (32:30). Which Braves hitters are excelling at hard contact (46:15)? Plus, canvassing the trade deadline is tricky (56:15).
