Pittsburgh Pirates: The Future of Second Base

If the 2020 season ever gets under way, the Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to open the season with Adam Frazier lined up as the primary keystone defender. Last year, Frazier batted for a .278/.336/.417 line in 608 plate appearances. That includes 10 home runs, and 33 doubles. Overall, Fraizer was roughly league average to slightly below league average with a 99 OPS+, 97 wRC+ and 95 DRC+. All of this falls about in line with his career averages as well (.279/.342/.420, 103 OPS+, /wRC+, 97 DRC+).

But while Frazier does not make too big of an impact with his bat, he is a well regarded defender up the middle.
