"The 27-year-old was a fourth round draft pick by the Blue Jays in 2020 and has not yet made his big-league debut. He was traded to the Dodgers in August 2022 and pitched the end of that season and most of 2023 in Double-A before reaching Triple-A in August 2023. In 93 innings across two levels in 2023, Frasso had a 3.77 ERA while striking out 26.8% of hitters and allowing just 0.38 home runs per nine innings."
"He returned to Triple-A in 2025 and posted diminished results. In 77 innings across 43 appearances (five starts), Frasso had a 5.49 ERA and struck out 19.7% of hitters while walking 12.1%. He also allowed 10 home runs after previously allowing no more than four in a season. Meanwhile, his average exit velocity allowed was 88.3 mph after sitting at 85.0 mph at Triple-A in 2023. Injuries have not been uncommon for Frasso."
"Frasso's prospect pedigree and solid stuff make him a decent, low-cost depth option. He averaged 94.6 mph on his four-seamer this year, using the pitch 53.5% of the time. He mixed in his changeup and upper-80s slider 26.2% and 19.5% of the time, respectively. Both the fastball and changeup have graded as plus pitches in the past. Altogether, Frasso has a 3.81 ERA in 229 career minor-league innings with a 26.5% stri"
Nick Frasso, a 27-year-old right-hander, was a fourth-round pick by the Blue Jays in 2020 and was traded to the Dodgers in August 2022. He progressed to Triple-A in August 2023 after a 3.77 ERA and a 26.8% strikeout rate across 93 innings that year. Frasso underwent labrum surgery and a right-hip clean-up in November 2023 and missed the entire 2024 season. He returned to Triple-A in 2025 and posted a 5.49 ERA in 77 innings with increased walk and home-run rates and higher exit velocity allowed. The injury history includes a 2021 internal brace for a partial UCL tear and a 60-day injured list stint in 2025. The Dodgers non-tendered him in November but then re-signed him to a minor-league deal as a low-cost depth option; his four-seam fastball averaged 94.6 mph and his changeup and slider have shown prior plus grades.
