Friend was considered one of the most consistent and solid pitchers in the game, even considering the time he played in. Some remarked that he would not miss a start if he was dying.

After he attended Purdue University, the Pirates became interested in Friend, signing him in 1950. His first season with them was a full one, and Friend went 6-10, not getting much run support from a horrible Pirates team that finished 6th in the 8-team league in batting average and last in stolen bases. His ERA was 4.27 as he switched off as a starter and a reliever in his rookie year, starting 22 games in 34 appearances.
