Todd Frazier (3B, NYM) - Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 32% of leagues

ANALYSIS: At 32 years old, New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier is a forgotten man who is seemingly passed along until the Mets scooped him up. They have a recent tendency to ride players until they are old and gray, regardless of performance. However, Frazier is making their choice appear like a smart one. In two weeks, Frazier has two homers, 11 RBI, and a .348 batting average. He has also chipped in two stolen bases. As history has demonstrated, Frazier continues to sell out for pull-side power this year. He continues to generate a 41.6% fly ball rate and a great 42.5% hard-hit rate. He has come on in the second half with a slash line of .298/.369/.474.

Take advantage of Frazier’s performance while he is hot and has favorable matchups. He has a full schedule this week against the Giants and Nationals, all at home. Unless the Mets have a management overhaul, we cannot expect a youth movement. Therefore, Frazier will likely be the third baseman through the end of the season, providing at least playing opportunity with potential dirt-cheap power.
