On Clint Frazier and non-baseball medical concerns

Let’s talk about Clint Frazier.

By now, you all know the story. Originally drafted by Cleveland with the fifth overall pick of the 2013 MLB Draft, he became a member of the Yankees in 2016 as part of the Andrew Miller trade, alongside Justus Sheffield, Ben Heller, and J.P. Feyereisen. Frazier made his Major League debut a little under a year later, on July 1, 2017. The 2018 season turned into a lost year for him due to multiple concussions, while 2019 proved to be a rollercoaster. It looked like Frazier finally turned a corner in the shortened 2020, as he posted a 149 OPS+ and played solid defense, and he began 2021 as the starting left fielder.
