The latest MLB.com power rankings were released Thursday morning, and they are a bit puzzling to say the least. The main reason being that Atlanta Braves starter Max Fried is not included. In Max Fried's last six starts, he's gone at least six innings in five of them, including two where he went seven innings, and two complete games. Four of those were also quality starts. This is not to take anything away from most of the ten players on the list, including fellow Atlanta Brave Chris Sale, but of all ten pitchers on the most recent list of power rankings, only two of those pitchers have as many as one complete game this season and they were both last month. Aren't power rankings supposed to be somewhat of a "real-time" list? It does get adjusted weekly, no? After all, Paul Skenes made the list and has only three starts to his major league career. Given two complete games by Max Fried, and one of them being this week, I', starting to think that maybe the MLB power rankers are on somewhat of a delay. Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael dive further in to the greatness of Max Fried thus far in the young 2024 season.
