Nine Years of Doing Exactly What a Bench Needs. The Job Is His To Lose.
Adam Frazier is a non-roster invitee who looks increasingly like he is going to make this team. The reason is straightforward: he makes contact from the left side, he plays solid defense at second base, and he has done both things reliably for nine major league seasons across five organizations. The Angels bench is short on all of those qualities, and Frazier is the clearest available answer to the problem.
His best season was 2021 with Pittsburgh — .324 average, 3.0 WAR, an All-Star appearance, a trade at the deadline to San Diego where he kept hitting. He has not touched that level since, and nobody is asking him to. A bench piece who bats .250 from the left side, rarely strikes out, plays clean defense up the middle, and gives Suzuki a genuine platoon option against right-handed pitching is a useful player on a team that needs useful players.
The spring performance has backed up the case. He has looked comfortable at second, his at-bats have been professional, and the Angels coaching staff has had good things to say. At 34, Frazier knows exactly who he is and what he is here to do. That kind of veteran clarity is not nothing on a roster full of young players still figuring things out.
If he makes the team — and the early read from camp is that he probably does — the Angels will have added something they genuinely did not have last year: a reliable left-handed contact option against right-handed pitching off the bench. It is a small thing. It is also something they were missing.
