Career vs Fried: 18 PA, .188 AVG, 0.466 OPS, 0 HR — sustained struggle over multiple seasons. 2023: 6 PA, 0.167 OPS; 2022: 3 PA, 0.000 OPS; 2021: 6 PA, 0.533 OPS. Fried's 2026 dominance (0.00 ERA) continues a trend of suppressing contact. Slater's vL OPS is just 0.091 this season. Under 0.5 hits at +106 offers plus-money value on a matchup with consistently poor BvP results over significant sample.
