Over the past three years, we have seen two very different Todd Fraziers. From April to June, Todd Frazier dons his cape and torments pitchers. Throw a fastball? Watch it become a souvenir. Throw a breaking ball? Todd will see you at second. When Frazier was on pace to hit 55 dingers this year, you almost felt bad for the player standing just over sixty feet away from him. Almost.
But from July through the end of the season, Frazier trades his cape for a pair of nerd glasses and a desk job at the Daily Planet.
Hitters go through ups and downs for many reasons: sometimes they are nursing an injury, perhaps they go through a stretch of tough matchups.
