Can you think of a player who has captured as much attention across baseball’s summer camps as Clint Frazier? The Yankees outfielder became the league’s de facto spokesperson for public health when he wore a mask on the field—including in the batter’s box.
Then, on Saturday night, the 25-year-old demonstrated an extreme, closed-off stance against the Mets. The adjustment paid immediate dividends, as Frazier crushed a home run into the second deck at Citi Field.
Frazier’s bomb went wild on social media, with many accounts noting that if Frazier could hit a ball that far while wearing a mask, we can all wear them while running errands.
