Nicholas Paul Frasso (born October 18, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball (MLB). He debuted in MLB in 2026.
Career
[edit]Amateur career
[edit]Frasso played college baseball for the Loyola Marymount Lions. He began his freshman season as a starter before being moved to the bullpen and was named to the West Coast Conference All-Freshman team.[1] Frasso was named second team All-WCC as a sophomore after going 2–2 with 10 saves and a 2.22 ERA in 19 appearances.[2] In 2019, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Orleans Firebirds of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[3]
Toronto Blue Jays
[edit]Frasso was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth round of the 2020 Major League Baseball draft.[4] He was assigned to the Low-A Dunedin Blue Jays in 2021, where he pitched in three games before suffering a partial tear in the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow.[5] Frasso returned to Dunedin at the start of the 2022 season.[6] Frasso had a 0.70 ERA with 48 strikeouts in 25+2⁄3 innings pitched at Dunedin before being promoted to the Vancouver Canadians of the High-A Northwest League.[7]
Los Angeles Dodgers
[edit]On August 2, 2022, Frasso and Moises Brito were traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Mitch White and Alex De Jesus.[8] The Dodgers assigned him to the Great Lakes Loons, where he allowed only one earned run in 5+2⁄3 innings the rest of the season.[9] In 2023 he made 21 starts for the Double-A Tulsa Drillers and four for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers, pitching to a combined 4–6 with a 3.77 ERA and 107 strikeouts in 93 innings.[9]
On November 14, 2023, the Dodgers added Frasso to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[10] He underwent labrum surgery in November 2023, necessitating a year long recovery and causing him to miss the entirety of the 2024 campaign.[11]
Frasso started on Opening Day for Oklahoma City in 2025, his first game action in over a year.[12] After beginning the season in the rotation and struggling, Frasso was moved to the bullpen. He pitched in 43 games, with a 6–1 record and 5.49 ERA with 68 strikeouts.[9] On September 26, 2025, Frasso was placed on the 60-day injured list due to an undisclosed injury, ending his season.[13] On November 21, he was non-tendered and became a free agent.[14]
The Dodgers re-signed Frasso to a minor league contract on December 13, 2025.[15] He returned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the 2026 season. On June 6, Frasso was selected back to the 40-man roster but remained with Oklahoma City.[16] In 21 games, he had a 4.74 ERA in 24+2⁄3 innings.[9]
Colorado Rockies
[edit]On July 20, 2026, Frasso (along with Landyn Vidourek) was traded to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for Seth Halvorsen.[17]
