Clint Frazier was Cleveland’s No. 1 pick (fifth overall) out of high school in Georgia in 2013. He was traded to the Yankees in 2016 as part of the Andrew Miller deal and made his MLB debut for the Yankees the following year.

And then the concussions started. Here’s a summary of all of Frazier’s various run-ins with outfield walls:

Frazier, back in 2018, crashed headfirst into the left-field wall in a spring training game in Bradenton, the effects of which lingered throughout the entire season; as a result, his age 23 campaign consisted of just 41 plate appearances.
