He led all National League pitchers with 6 DRS in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Fried has also gained a reputation for his strong pickoff move \u2014 which involves throwing to a base to catch a player with a long lead. He ranked second in the NL with six pickoffs in 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Max Fried&#39;s pickoff move caught him leaning. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YqTK9PP24K\">pic.twitter.com\/YqTK9PP24K<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bally Sports South (@BallySportsSO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BallySportsSO\/status\/1403828005475061768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Fried joins Atlanta Hall of Famers Greg Maddux and Phil Niekro as the only Braves pitchers to win multiple Gold Glove Awards.
