Jake Fraley Taking A Seat Tuesday
1 year agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley is not in the starting lineup Tuesday night versus the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Lucas Giolito. It's fairly rare to see the lefty-swinging Fraley sitting against a right-handed pitcher considering the damage he has done off of opposite-handed pitching this season. While he has logged just 41 unproductive plate appearances versus lefties, Fraley has hit .272 with 15 homers, 15 doubles, 18 stolen bases, and an .825 OPS across 335 trips to the plate off of righties. At the same time, he is also hitting just .233 with a .652 OPS and zero home runs across 49 plate appearances in the month of September.
