Frasure A ‘Low-Risk High-Reward’ Two-Way Prospect
DAYTON - Improvements off the field are making a big difference for Jackson Frasure.
“I’m eating right, that’s one thing that’s helped,” explained the fourth-rated uncommitted 2024 in Ohio. “I’m leaner with more muscle mass.”
But there is more that is showing up on the field for the 6-2 225-pounder.
“I pretty much live in the weight room,” Frasure noted. “That’s translated to hitting and pitching. I’m using my legs more which has helped with pitching and with more power hitting.”
It has also proven beneficial in schools gaining interest in the two-way prospect, with Wright State, Central Florida and Dayton among the colleges giving attention to the Chaminade-Julienne junior.
“I’ve been talking with Wright State heavily since they picked up JP Peliter,” Frasure said in reference to the Wright State commit, a senior shortstop at Chaminade-Julienne. “I’ve been talking to UCF since I hit 90, and a couple of weeks ago UD got in touch with my pitching coach asking about me.”
Jordan Chiero has high praise when it comes to the 28th-rated 2024 in Ohio.
“Jackson has a chance to be one of the top two-way power guys in the state,” noted the PBR Ohio Director of Scouting. “All the tools are there offensively to be a guy who ends up in the middle of the lineup at the next level. But it may even be more intriguing on the mound. He's gotten with a pitching guy this off-season and has already shown a velocity jump up to 90, and he's thrown strikes each time we've seen him.
“We got a chance to spend significant time with him at the Future Games and he's also a guy college coaches will be drawn to intangibly. Knowing the kid and what he offers on both sides of the ball, I think you're looking at a low risk-high reward prospect.”
Still, the recruiting process has not been easy according to the 17-year-old.
“It started pretty slow, it’s definitely been stressful,” Frasure admitted. “PBR and Jordan have really helped me out a lot. I talked to him after the Future Games about what I can do to get on coaches’ radars and he said you’re a couple of steps away from being a monster in the box. They’ve really helped me with getting exposure, but it’s still stressful and hard seeing guys out there committing. I just have to stay with the process.”
The third-rated junior third baseman in the state points to two areas he hopes to find in a college baseball program.
“I’m looking for somebody who wants me and can get me to the next level,” Frasure said. “The biggest thing is I want somebody to push me.”
Improvements on the mound have been made to help the cause according to Frasure.
“Since I’ve gotten with Connor Graham, my pitching coach, I’ve cut out the curve ball and went to a sweeping slider,” explained Frasure, who also credits C-J pitching mentor Chris ‘Gordy’ Gongora with providing “a good baseball IQ when it comes to pitching” in aiding his game. “I’ve been working on the slider and it’s a difference maker. It’s pretty devastating combining it with a 90 fastball that sits 86 to 88.”
The ability to take advice is something that Frasure points to as a strength.
“I’m definitely coachable, that’s a big thing I hear from coaches,” Frasure said. “It’s another thing I can bring to a program along with talent. Failure happens in baseball, it’s how you deal with it and that’s another thing that coaches are looking for in a player.”
It was freshman year of high school when Frasure began to have thoughts about college baseball.
“I put up some big numbers batting .300 with three home runs and was up to 84 on the mound,” Frasure reflected. “I went to some PBR events and I kind of blew up. I started thinking maybe I can do this. That’s when I started to understand what to do and realized I want to do this.”
The PBR Ohio Procase is on tap in February with Frasure among the participants.
“I’m looking to put up some big numbers, anything I can to get coaches to notice,” Frasure said. “I’m hoping to get contacts with some new schools.”
As for a timeframe to make a commitment, Frasure is in no rush.
“I’d like to think it could happen some time in the spring,” concluded Frasure, a 3.4 student at Chaminade-Julienne who is considering a major in sports science, sport management or marketing. “If it doesn’t come, then maybe this summer playing for the Bo Jackson team and with what Cory (Valentine) does. This year will definitely be a very big year for me.”
