VIDEO: Yankees' Clint Frazier and Tyler Wade Smack Back-to-Back Home Runs off Rays' Aaron Slegers
By Karl Rasmussen
The New York Yankees, already dealing with a few significant injuries, may be forced to lean upon their next man up mentality once again in 2020. Well, the guys waiting in the wings appear to be ready. In Thursday's Spring Training game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Tyler Wade got the Bombers on the board with a two-run jack off Aaron Slegers. Next up to the plate was Clint Frazier, and with a single stroke of the bat he extended the Yankees' lead.
Wade managed to get ahold of a pitch around his knees and golf it over the wall in right field.
Frazier, on the other hand, showcased his beautiful swing and launched the ball way out into the seats in left. No doubt about that one, folks.
Frazier and Wade are two players who struggled to carve out significant roles in the big leagues last year, so seeing them perform well in spring is certainly a good sign.
