If you’ve been watching baseball for a long enough time, you’ve probably heard the term “dirtbag.”
Dirtbag is a complimentary term used to describe a player who does more with less. The dirtbag hustles on every play, stays mentally engaged, leaves it all out on the field, and when the game is over, walks off with a soiled uniform; the dirt symbolizing the battle scars of a valiant effort, win or lose.
In 2018, Kannapolis Intimidators right fielder Tyler Frost exhibited all of those traits. He did more with less, leading the Intimidators in home runs with 18 (which tied him for second with José Rondón for second-most in all of White Sox minor league play) in spite of his smallish 5´10´´, 170 pound frame.
