Adam Frazier 2023

[RZNJ]

Listen, I agree his home runs aren't huge shots but I question the 311 projected distance on that one.  It hit pretty high off the pole AND how is that not a HR in Boston where the Pesky pole is even a shorter distance than Yankee Stadium?

Nice to use their stupid bandbox stadium against them for once!

[RZNJ]

The reported distance down the line in Yankee stadium is 314.  Hard to figure how a home run that hit 30 feet up the poll with at least some force was projected to go 311.  The new math?

1.1 rWAR, 0.6 fWAR

Solid!

I will take a dozen HRs at Yankee Stadium that are not HRs anywhere else!!

Okay, now we have a projected distance of 352.  Quite a bit different than 311.  A home run in 3 other parks. BUT it hit the pole.   I would guess there is not even one ball park that is greater than 351 down the line.  This must have something to do with angles and geometry.  lol

Saying it’s foul in the other 27 I assume.

Could Holliday play better right now in the MLB? No. Could Norby, Ortiz, Westburg? No. Have Gunnar, Mounty, Mateo outplayed him? No they havent. I'm not talking future projections. 

Well I’m sold!

It is a compelling argument!

First off, as I said in the game thread last night, "Thanks Adam" $$$.

As I also said, maybe Frazier is THE top anti-analytics player in the game.

I mean, who else can hit a 311 ft home run down a 314 ft RF with a .130 xBA? No one else. Only Adam Freakin' Anti-Analytics Frazier can.

I'm just going to enjoy the ride!

He does hit well in high leverage situations.

2023 - 323/400/387/787

Career - 305/384/460/855

BTW, this is the one part of his game I had overlooked and it's clear from watching him this year that even when he wasn't doing well, he still was finding ways to get key hits or key contact.

Yep, hey... I hope he hits 35 home runs this year that average 92.3mph off the bat and travel an average distance of 322 feet.

Ah, they adjusted it. Damn, makes my joke about him being the anti-analytics guy who hit a 311 ft home run down a 314 ft fence less funny now!
