Frost gives chills to opposing teams

https://baseballdotrocks.wordpress.com/2019/01/22/frost-gives-chills-to-opposing-teams/

If you’ve been watching baseball for a long enough time, you’ve probably heard the term “dirt-bag.” Dirt-bag is a complimentary term used to describe a player who does more with less. The dirt bag hustles on every play, he stays mentally engaged, he leaves it all out on the field, and when the game is over, he walks off with a soiled uniform; the dirt symbolizing the battle scars of a valiant effort, win or lose. In 2018 the Kannapolis Intimidators right-fielder Tyler Frost exhibited all of those traits. He did more with less, leading the Intimidators in home runs with 18 in spite of his smallish 5′ 10″ 17o pound frame. He always hustled, displayed high energy, and did whatever it took to help his team win. Tyler Frost is a throwback, he looks as if he walked out of the cornfield to join a pick-up game in the movie Field of Dreams.

Tyler Frost has been a baseball over-achiever for a very long time. Playing prep baseball at Greenway High School in Phoenix, Frost garnered national attention by winning Arizona’s Gatorade Player of the Year award following a season in which he pitched his way to a 12-1 record with a microscopic 0.26 ERA while hitting .406 with 7 HR and 42 RBI. His team finished 29-4 and won the Division II state championship. On the strength of his pitching, Frost earned a scholarship to Gonzaga where he proved his bat was also capable of being a game changer. During his junior year he led the Zags in HR (9) RBI (38) and R (41). The Chicago White Sox selected Frost in the 15th round of the 2017 draft and rewarded him with a 75K signing bonus before assigning him to the rookie league affiliate in Great Falls.
