Answer: Jackson/Clint Frazier! Active from ‘17-‘23, he is currently an unsigned free agent and is not retired. Drafted in the 1st round and 5th overall, this man had quite the collection of cleats & an above average bat speed that impressed many. Concussions seemed to follow him.

Leading the league in Hits 1x with 207 (the youngest to do this), this 4x AS came in 5th for RoY votes.
He also holds the record for the most RBIs in a debut game with 6 RBIs. The kid was a star.
