Deadline Deal: Frazier Traded Back to Mets
Aug 31 | Baseball
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – In the waning moments of Monday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, former Rutgers baseball standout Todd Frazier was dealt back to the New York Mets from the Texas Rangers. The New Jersey native is in his 10th MLB season and spent the previous two years with the Mets before signing with the Rangers in the offseason.
Frazier blasted 21 homers in 2019 to make it eight consecutive seasons with 18 or more, being one of eight players to accomplish the feat. Owning 216 career long balls, he previously saw action with the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox after making his debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 2011. A two-time All-Star, Frazier won the 2015 Home Run Derby. He has played in 1,217 MLB games with 1,045 hits, 631 RBIs and 596 runs with a .768 OPS.
One of the most accomplished players in Rutgers history, Frazier ranks first in the RU record book with 42 career home runs and 210 runs during his three seasons (2005-07) in Piscataway. He hit .377 with 93 hits, 24 doubles, 22 home runs, 65 RBIs, 62 walks and 25 stolen bases in a memorable All-America 2007 season that saw the Scarlet Knights win the Big East regular season and tournament. Frazier batted .520 (13-for-25) with three homers and seven RBIs in the tournament held in Brooklyn to help lead Rutgers to an NCAA Regional berth. He was selected by Cincinnati as the 34th overall selection in 2007 and was inducted into the Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame last fall.
