Luis Frias pitched for the Diamondbacks organization since 2016. He wasn’t always a pitcher. Before he started his professional baseball career, he was seen as an outfielder and a third baseman.
“…[Frias is] a Paul Blair-type outfielder.” — Rudy Santin, scout. Paul Blair played in the outfield from 1964 to 1980. He won 8 gold gloves and was in the World Series 4 times.
“Frias was a thick-framed, strong-armed third baseman when he signed [with the Diamondbacks] out of the Dominican Republic for $50,000 in November 2015.” — MLB.com
In 2017, he was on the IL from 8 June to 29 September.
