he MLB career of Yankees OF Clint Frazier is off to an impressive start, as the 22-year-old prospect has now homered three times in his first nine days in The Show. He went 5-11, 2 R, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 4 K in the weekend series versus Milwaukee, providing the dramatic three-run homer against Brewers closer Corey Knebel to cap the Yankees’ comeback from a 3-0 deficit in walk-off fashion. Drafted fifth overall in 2013 by Cleveland, Frazier was one of the key components given up by the Indians to acquire star RP Andrew Miller from New York a year ago. He’s spent his time since the trade with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre but finally got the call up shortly after Aaron Hicks went to the 10-day DL with a pesky oblique strain. Through 24 at-bats, Frazier has a .292 average with four runs and eight total RBI. The sample size is obviously miniscule, but it’s fun to see a hard contact percentage of 55.6 any day. It’s a stacked outfield in New York, though, so it will be interesting to see what happens with the 25-man roster when Hicks gets healthy if Frazier continues to rake. He may be worth an add already during this injury-riddled season, as the power is clearly promising and the opportunity to secure more playing time is in Frazier’s hands.
Let’s take a closer look at what some other notable hitters around the league accomplished this weekend:
