In 2024, David Fry was one of the top three hitters in baseball for two months, made an all-star team and hit one of the most memorable homers in Cleveland baseball history. Not a bad year for the 28 year-old right-handed swing-man.
I’ve long been a David Fry fan, and wrote an article on January 15th, 2024 extolling his potential to be a late bloomer, especially if primarily deployed against left-handed pitching. But, not even I could have predicted that through May 31st, 2024, with 136 plate appearances, Fry would have a 213 wRC+ and an 18.
