Al Pedrique: New York Yankees’ Clint Frazier Will Benefit From Demotion

MOOSIC, Pa. — Clint Frazier has been everything the New York Yankees could possibly want from a youngster at the Major League level.

The 22-year-old packs “legendary” bat speed, is one of five players in franchise history to record 14 or more extra-base hits in his first 26 games and has already become a fan-favorite.

Yet, there is some speculation surrounding a potential option to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when outfielder Aaron Hicks is reinstated from the disabled list. Sending down Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury or Aaron Judge is way too far-fetched, leaving Frazier as the odd-man-out.
