Clint Frazier

Clint Jackson Frazier (born September 6, 1994) is an American former professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox.

A top prospect entering the 2013 MLB draft, the Cleveland Indians chose Frazier with the fifth overall selection. The Indians traded Frazier (among other prospects) to the New York Yankees in 2016 for relief pitcher Andrew Miller. Frazier made his MLB debut in 2017. He played for the Yankees through 2021, and then for the Cubs in 2022, and for the White Sox in 2023. He briefly played in the Atlantic League in 2024 for the Charleston Dirty Birds, but retired mid-season.

Frazier was born to Mark Frazier, a salesman, and his wife Kim, a preschool teacher. Despite living only 45 minutes from Atlanta, Frazier grew up a Philadelphia Phillies fan.

Frazier attended Loganville High School, where he competed in baseball with Austin Meadows. As a junior in 2012, he batted .424 with 24 home runs. He was the winner of the Jackie Robinson Award given to the Perfect Game National Player of the Year. He played in the 2012 Under Armour All-America Baseball Game. As a senior, he hit six home runs in his first seven games. Frazier finished his senior year with a .485 batting average, a .561 on-base percentage, a 1.134 slugging percentage, 17 home runs, 45 runs batted in (RBIs), and 56 runs scored. Gatorade named Frazier their National Baseball Player of the Year.

Frazier committed to attend the University of Georgia on a college baseball scholarship to play for the Georgia Bulldogs. He was considered one of the best prospects available in the 2013 Major League Baseball draft.

The Cleveland Indians selected Frazier with the fifth overall selection of the 2013 MLB Draft. He signed with the Indians instead of enrolling at the University of Georgia, receiving a $3.5 million signing bonus. The Indians assigned him to the Arizona Indians of the Rookie-level Arizona League for his professional debut. He hit a home run and a triple in his first professional game. In 44 games he batted .297/.392/.506 with five home runs and 28 RBIs.

In 2014, Frazier played for the Lake County Captains of the Single–A Midwest League where he batted .266 with 13 home runs and 50 RBIs in 120 games. In 2015, Frazier played for the Lynchburg Hillcats of the High–A Carolina League where he compiled a .285 batting average with 16 home runs and 72 RBIs in 133 games.

Frazier began the 2016 season with the Akron RubberDucks of the Double–A Eastern League. He was named to appear in the 2016 All Star Futures Game, where he went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a stolen base. He was then promoted to the Columbus Clippers of the Triple–A International League on July 25.
