Jake Fraley Enjoys Big Game Saturday
2 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley enjoyed a big day at the plate Saturday as part of an 8-7 Cactus League loss to the Texas Rangers. Fraley clubbed a fourth-inning two-run home run while he added a double and drove in three runs on the afternoon. The long ball was Fraley's second of the spring, and he's now hitting .375 with three stolen bases and four walks against five strikeouts across 24 at-bats this spring. Acquired from the Seattle Mariners prior to the 2022 season, the 27-year-old hit 12 homers with four steals and an .812 OPS across an injury-shortened 68-game season with the Reds last year. Fraley's 121 wRC+ from a season ago represents a figure 21% above the league average as he looks to put together a healthy and productive season in the corner outfield spots for the rebuilding Reds in 2023.
