TAMPA, Fla. _ Clint Frazier's feet usually are magnets for attention based on his street-style cleats, notably some variation of tricked-out Jordans, customized for baseball use.
This year, however, Frazier is doing more with his feet than making a fashion statement _ and the impact was on display Thursday when he pulled a long, loud home run over the 30-foot-high concourse at Steinbrenner Field.
Frazier's DNA is loaded with power, and remember it was GM Brian Cashman who famously described his bat speed as "legendary" upon getting him from the Indians in the Andrew Miller swap. But Frazier felt at times as if he wasn't maximizing that ultra-hyped potential, like "trying to fire a gun with the safety on."
