PITTSBURGH — Remember the scene from Moneyball? The one where Jonah Hill sits at the conference table and all he says every time Brad Pitt points to him is that whichever player they’re talking about “gets on base.”
Adam Frazier is 5-foot-9. He doesn’t hit with enough power to be a corner outfielder. He doesn’t play good enough defense to play just about anywhere. But none of that matters because he *points* get on base.
That’s especially true if he’s going to continue to have a .402 on-base percentage and a 136 wRC+, which is where he stands after going 3 for 5 in Saturday’s 6-3 Pirates win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
