Clint Frazier: OPS under .700 in AAA in both 2016 and 2017.

Small sample size!

Small sample size!

Yeah, yeah, we know. But it's not encouraging. Minor league plate appearances (PA):
Aaron Judge 1,513  Born: April 26, 1992 (Age: 24-353 days)
Clint Frazier 1,875  Born: September 6, 1994 (Age: 22-220 days)

Judge is about 2.5 years older and starting in right field for the Yankees. Through his first nine 2017 games Judge seems to have adjusted to major league pitching, which Frazier has yet to see.

Why is Clint Frazier rated 34th best prospect by fangraphs.com? How valuable are "prospects"? Sunday, March 19, 2017

Frazier OPS in 158 AAA PA: .664
Frazier OPS in 2017 in 29 AAA PA: .693; zero home runs

So, is Frazier still a kid? Yankee fans should hope that Frazier has a career as good as Brett Gardner.
