Former Cincinnati Reds fan favorite Todd Frazier, now with the Pittsburgh Pirates, was mic'd up during a television broadcast of a Spring Training game between the Pirates and Baltimore Orioles. And he didn't disappoint, especially during a plate appearance that resulted in a double:
Frazier, with the Pirates as a non-roster invitee, was added for his right-handed power and veteran presence, according to manager Derek Shelton.
Frazier, 35, hit .224 with two homers in 51 plate appearances for the Mets last season after they acquired him from the Texas Rangers in August for Ryder Ryan. The Mets declined their team option on Frazier after the season.
He's hit .242 with 218 home runs over 10 big-league seasons.
Frazier tweeted last month that video shared via Twitter of Frazier celebrating a 2013 home run he promised then-honorary batboy Ted Kremer made his night. Frazier and Kremer reunited in 2018 at Great American Ball Park in advance of a Reds-Mets game.
The Reds traded Frazier to the Chicago White Sox in Dec. 2015 in a deal that brought Jose Peraza, Scott Schebler and Brandon Dixon from the Dodgers to Cincinnati.
