Charlie Morton was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 3rd round (95th overall) of the 2002 MLB draft.

After spending 2004 and 2005 with the Rome Braves, Morton made stops in High-A Myrtle Beach and Double-A Mississippi before making his major league debut on Jun 14, 2008 against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Morton was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 3, 2009. He battled through injuries during his time there and with the Philadelphia Phillies. Things turned around for Morton after signing a 2-year deal with the Houston Astros of 2016.

During the 2017 postseason, Morton picked up Game 7 wins in both the ALCS against the New York Yankees and the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, helping the Astros win the first championship in franchise history.

Following the 2018 season Morton signed a 2-year deal with the Tampa Bay Rays and had, arguably, his season season yet in 2019. In 33 games, he went 16-6 with a 3.05 ERA and 240 strikeouts finishing third in the AL Cy Young Award voting.

After appearing in the 2020 World Series with the Rays, Morton declared free agency and signed a 1-year deal with the Atlanta Braves, returning where it all started.

After pitching well during the 2021 regular season, the 2-time All-Star was named the Game 1 starter in the World Series against the Astros. Unfortunately Morton was forced to exit after 2.1 innings with a broken leg after being hit by a line drive.

On November 2, 2021, Morton became a 2-time World Series champion after the Braves beat the Astros in six games.

Max Fried - born on January 18, 1994 in Santa Monica, CA - was drafted in the 1st round (7th overall) of the 2012 MLB draft by the San Diego Padres. Coming out of Harvard-Westlake High School in Los Angeles, Fried was a highly touted prospect and had committed to UCLA before choosing to sign with the Padres instead.

In 2014, Fried was named the Padres #2 overall prospect by MLB.com before being traded to the Atlanta Braves in the December that would send Justin Upton to the Padres.

After missing the entire 2015 season recovering from Tommy John surgery, he returned to the mound in 2016 with the Rome Braves. In 21 games, he went 8-7 with a 3.93 ERA and 112 strikeouts. Fried played a key role in Rome winning the South Atlantic League Championship that year.

Fried made his major league debut on August 8, 2017 against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 20221 season brought him his second Rawlings Gold Glove Award in as many years. He also recorded his first career walk-off hit on July 4, 2021 to beat the Miami Marlins. That, accompanied with 15 hits and .649 OPS, helped him secure his first Silver Slugger Award.

On November 2, 2021, he recorded the win in the final game of the World Series with 6 shutout innings. Fried became the first pitcher in MLB history to win the World Series, Hold Glove, and Silver Slugger all in the same year.
