NEW YORK, NY New York Yankees- JULY 26: Todd Frazier

The New York Yankees have a duo in the works that is ready to take the city by storm. Todd and Clint Frazier are each one half of Bash and Crash.

As I lied awake last night, a thought crossed my mind.

Todd and Clint Frazier are two the most dynamic players in the New York Yankees lineup. Todd is one of the better power hitters in the majors over the past few years, and Clint is one of baseball’s rising talents.

So, I took it upon myself to give the two a nickname.

After mulling it over, I came up with the name “Bash and Crash”. It just makes sense in my mind, and they could end up raking together for a long time.

The “Bash” would be Todd Frazier. He is the power in the lineup, and he is capable of staying

consistent with it for years to come.

His homerun the other night was an absolute moonshot, but it was just a glimpse of what’s to come from the wily veteran.

Subsequently, the “Crash” is Clint Frazier. Yes, he can hit the screws off of the ball, and he’s got a great swing, but something about him is reckless.

It’s a good kind of reckless. It’s a type of reckless that the New York Yankees will need in their lineup. The perfect example was the other night when he dug it out going from first to home, and pop up sliding just to avoid a collision with the Reds catcher.

If you pair this wild “Crash” with the ever consistent “Bash”, you get an unbelievable batting duo. Todd Frazier is a veteran that the Yanks will need, and Clint Frazier is the wild child that will change the pace in the Bronx in the best kind of way.
