Dunn may be the least surprised by Fraley's power. They've played against each other since they were 9 years old, both kids from the Northeast, matching up in a tournament in Aberdeen, Maryland.
"Jake Fraley is actually the reason I probably decided to stop hitting," Dunn said. "My first time facing him was the first time I heard the ball come to the plate. I told my dad, 'I don’t want to do this anymore.' He’s always been a good player, man. He’s always been a name I’ve had circled every time we faced each other coming up in Low-A and High-A. Finally nice to have him on my side and reap the benefits of what he does."
