Clint Frazier Says Yankees Won't Win World Series If Analytics Lead to 'Dumbass S--t'

Former New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier thinks the Yankees' World Series hopes are doomed unless they change their approach.

Frazier—who was once a top prospect in the Yankees' organization—said that New York relies too much on analytics, and it leads to major changes when the calendar flips from the regular season to the postseason.

“They will not win the World Series if this f–king analytical car is driving it. They won’t,” Frazier said on his Life After The Show podcast (24:50 mark).

“And the reason that they won’t win it is because they do dumbass s–t that they didn’t do during the regular season because they get cute and they want to make a crazy move.”

Analytics can be a helpful tool in baseball as teams evaluate what they can be doing better as well as scouting other teams, but relying too much on the numbers might complicate things, especially for a team with as much talent as the Yankees.

New York is in a position to make the postseason, sitting at 67-57 and holding the top wild card spot in the American League. Whether the Bronx Bombers will listen to Frazier's advice in the postseason remains to be seen.
