Clint Frazier, one of the most highly touted prospects in the New York Yankees farm system, is showing no mercy in his second stint at SWB.
Ever since the New York Yankees acquired super prospect Clint Frazier in exchange for Andrew Miller last season, we were waiting for one thing: for his stat line to match his borderline flawless skills.
In his first and only 25 games for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2016, the 22-year-old slashed .228/.278/.396 while striking out in 29.7 percent of his at-bats.
Given how this was his first taste of the minor league’s most MLB-ready talent and how lightening quick his bat speed is, predicting a turnaround was a safe bet. Over the last week in his second stint with the RailRiders, a turnaround is exactly what’s happening.
After struggling in his first 19 games (.217 BA in 81 PA), the organization’s second-best prospect owns a .381/.533/.762 slash line with two home runs, his latest on May 3 off left-hander Cesar Ramos, who has 346.2 innings of major league time under his belt.
For now, however, he’s the future. The Yankees are currently in first place in the American League East and with a win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, they have climbed to 10 games over .500 and are currently producing the greatest WAR in baseball from the outfield.
No pressure, but watching all the components come together for Clint Frazier has been and will continue to be a sight to see.
