The Braves announced that they had claimed the outcry Jake Fraley Derogations outside the reds. Cincinnati appointed it for assignment a few days ago. Atlanta has several vacant posts of 40 men. They will have to open an active list place once Fraley relates to the team, because it cannot be optionized for minors without its consent.
Fraley had some success in the major league but did not have his best season. He had a few relays on the injured list, one due to sensitivity to the left calf and another due to a sprain on the right shoulder. These injuries limited him to 67 games with the Reds. Its shot line .232 / .332 / .387 translated by a 98 WRC +, indicating that it was 2% below the average of the league. He only stolen four bases, despite at least 20 in the previous two seasons.
The Reds eliminated him from their list, choosing to give part of his playing time to Will Benson As they try to make playoffs. Atlanta is in a different situation because they are out of disappearance this year. Fraley can be kept for 2026, so that they can give him a certain playing time to see if it is worth being subject to a contract for next year.
His career has had ups and downs, but there are things to love in his profile, in particular his ability to succeed with the advantage of the peloton. Left -handed striker, he has a career line .260 / .344 / .434 and 112 WRC + against right -handers. Against SouthPaws, this line is only .172 / .269 / .234, leading to a 45 WRC +. As mentioned, he can also slide a few bags. He only had four this year but obtained 21 in 2023 and 20 last year.
Defensively, criticisms are mixed. Playing the three places, he was credited with four withdrawals higher than average in his career. The saved defensive races give it a worse note of -9. However, the DRS hate his work in the center and in the right field, but love him on the left.
More to come.
