Can Todd Frazier handle pressure of Yankees, NJ homecoming? 'He lives for that'

PISCATAWAY -- In 16 seasons as a college baseball head coach, only once has an opponent thanked Joe Litterio for not pitching around him.

It was Todd Frazier, back when Litterio was at Wagner and Frazier was tearing up the Big East for Rutgers. A decade later, Frazier is the newest member of the Yankees, after orchestrating a blockbuster trade Monday night with the Chicago White Sox.

"It really stood out and it still stands out in my memory," Litterio, who now coaches Rutgers, told NJ Advance Media.
