If you are a Reds fan then you already know about Todd Frazier and how he saved a man's life during a road trip in a Pittsburgh diner by successfully performing the Heimlich Maneuver. Later that night, Frazier had a hit that would prove to be the difference in the game against the Pirates. Over at Redleg Nation they began calling him "Super" Todd Frazier and "Superhero" Todd Frazier. I thoroughly enjoyed this new moniker and have tried to spread it's usage by typing it up frequently here on our site.
Frazier has proven himself to be a very capable young ballplayer. He has played LF, 3B, and now he is filling the shoes of Vottomatic at 1B. Todd the Superhero is batting .285 with 10 home runs and 33 RBI. He has 15 doubles on the year and an OBP of .347. His OPS? Well it's a healthy .890. Yeah. If you don't understand that statistic then I will break it down for you: It means he is good. Enough said.
Frazier was recently honored by Dr. Heimlich himself for his life-saving encounter. Wow. That truly is special. Add to it that Frazier is a loveable and fun guy in the Cincinnati clubhouse. Everybody goes on and on about what a "cut-up" he is, and that he loves pranks and jokes, etc. Todd Frazier is my second favorite Redleg just behind the best pure hitter in baseball, Joey Votto.
