The hopes for Frankoff to reach the MLB weren’t high for him when he was selected in the 2010 draft by the Oakland A’s in the 27th round out of North Carolina.
But Frankoff’s story is one of perseverance and if there is one consistent line in his baseball career so far it is the willingness to learn, wherever he can, and keep on trying to become better to reach what is his ultimate goal: “my dream has always been the big leagues.”
That quest started, as we already mentioned, in 2010. Originally a starting pitcher, by 2012 the A’s decided that his future would be in the bullpen.
