Christian Friedrich reported Friday that his back and neck are feeling much better, and that he's anxious to get back on the mound.
The 25-year-old lefty is coming off an extremely disappointing rookie season where he posted a 6.17 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 74/30 K/BB ratio over 84 2/3 innings. Though he's already behind the other pitchers in camp, Friedrich hopes to put himself into consideration for the Opening Day roster.
