Frazier's 5th home run

Ever since Clint Frazier was acquired, Yankee fans have been chomping at the bit to see the young outfielder come into his own and seize a starting outfield job.

In the summer of 2016, the Yankees leveraged an overvalued reliever market to rebuild their farm system and acquired the former fifth overall pick from the Indians. This was before Aaron Judge made his debut, and before they had Giancarlo Stanton. Frazier became the future big bat that we desperately needed at the time, and was ranked as our number one prospect at the time of the trade.

It was tough to see Frazier go through the various stages of post-concussion symptoms last season.
