Blake Snell, Max Fried, Corbin Burnes stats compared

What’s the time frame for this?
I remember watching Burnes’ debut against the Marlins in 2018. He pitched brilliantly but in his post game interview it was clear he was fixated on spiking one particular curveball. I knew then that he was a madman, the kind of madman that pursues greatness with a single-minded conviction. I think it makes him a bit of a headcase, but damn what a great pitcher. Miss him on the Brew Crew, it sucks how they handled him in arbitration made him sour on the team.
Call me crazy, but I don’t want a guy with an 11% walk rate when his fastball loses a few ticks in his mid-late 30s…
Snell has 2 Cy Youngs
As a 90s kid, my hate for the Yankees was immeasurable. However that rivalry has cooled significantly and now I can say I prefer Fried going to the Yankees over say the Dodgers. Hope he does well, although I still want the Yankees to lose.
Silver slugger! Good to know, our bench is atrocious.
Fried has offered a whopping 7 combined innings over the last 3 postseasons. No thanks.
That silver slugger makes all the difference.
I love that this whole “Snell is elite!” Thing consistently comes up. His walk rate is almost double the other two. Idk, maybe I’ll be wrong and he’ll turn it around. But I think Snell is the greatest fraud of an “elite” pitcher of all time.
