New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has a tough job in hand. There is more at stake than just the Yankees losing two of their three games against the Cincinnati Reds. Only a couple of weeks left before he will have to decide who’s going to be the starting pitcher for the All-Star game. And guess what? The first name that comes to mind is Max Fried, who achieved a unique record of 10 wins this season, the first for a pitcher this season.Reflecting on the All-Star’s outing in the 7-1 win over the Reds, Aaron Boone felt that Fried gave them seven strong innings. Furthermore, if not for some of the longer at-bats in the middle of the game, he could have played the entire game. Maybe he got a little tired. But yes, he did throw some excellent pitches, be it the breaking ball, the cutters, or the sinkers.It’s quite obvious for Aaron Boone to think that Max Fried is literally unplayable. “He’s pitched nine times after a loss because he’s been terrific in all of it, you know, and I told him again today. I was like, ‘Just watching you more and more, it’s like I would not have wanted to hit off you.’ Like, he’s just, he’s got so many weapons out there and there’s just so much movement to all of those pitches and he’s been terrific.” Well, he definitely got some firepower in his arsenal. The left-handed pitcher improved to 10-2, giving up just one run and four hits while striking out seven batters.Ever since 1962, Max Fried is only the third pitcher to achieve such a double-digit victory. His record has had him join now with Tommy John and CC Sabathia, who reached the record in 1979 and 2011, respectively. “I guess it’s cool but we’re all here just trying to win games. A lot of its credit goes to my teammates. It’s nice, but that’s more of a team stat than an individual one,” Fried said in a statement.However, Aaron Boone sees Max Fried as a potential starter for the All-Star game. Although it’s not confirmed yet. But when he was asked about Fried starting in Atlanta, Boone made it clear that it’s definitely something to consider. And why not?Ever since the Yankees ace, Gerrit Cole, was placed on the IL owing to Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Fried has held onto the ship. Fried demonstrated his potential in his four games this season by pitching at least seven innings without giving up an earned run. Because he is so good, he was still in control even when the Yankees lost a few games.No wonder why Boone is all praise for him, not just for his 10 wins in half a season but also for his consistency at the mound. So far this season, Fried went 10-2 with a 1.92 ERA with 108.0 IP, striking out 104 times with a 0.94 ERA.But let’s hear what Max Fried has to say…Yankees ace opens up about his All-Star breakWithout giving much thought to whether he’s going to be a starter in Atlanta or not, Max Fried feels that he still has some more to prove. “I’ve got a handful of starts to go before the All-Star break.” Fried makes it clear that he does not want to think much further ahead. Rather, he wants to see how things go in the next five to six days. Maybe he’ll get to pitch a complete game, get as many outs as he can and lead the team to wins.Fried would be looking to compete for the starter job with the Astros’ Hunter Brown, who is going 8-3 with a 1.88 ERA and Tarik Skubal of the Tigers, who is going strong, too. He went 9-2 with a 2.29 ERA. However, it’s worth noting that Fried was a Golden Glove award winner and made it to the All-Star game two times while playing for the Braves.So, it’s quite likely that the manager will leave no stone unturned to get him on board, giving him an All-Star break. The club has rooted for him since his signing in December last year. And guess what? As the season progresses towards the midpoint, Fried has shown everyone that he’s worth every penny. He was signed by the Yankees for an eight-year, $218 million contract, which takes him through to 2032 and Fried has settled in quite well with his new teammates at the clubhouse.While the discussions around the All-Star starter case will continue, it will be worth waiting to watch what happens ahead. However, the big question looming over the Yankees clubhouse is, will Max Fried play in Atlanta?
