  • Jeffrey Dustin Frye is a former baseball player who played second base for the Texas Rangers, the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays and the Colorado Rockies. He is 5'9 and 165 lbs. and he bats and throws right-handed. Frye was drafted in the 30th round of the 1988 amateur draft and made his big league debut with the Texas Rangers on July 9, 1992 at Arlington Stadium during a 14-4 Rangers victory over the Cleveland Indians. Frye went 2-for-3, including a triple, walk, RBI and three runs, as the starting second baseman and leadoff hitter. His first career home run came July 24, 1992 off of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Arthur Rhodes at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. He missed the 1993 season due to injury. In 1996, after hitting just .238 in 49 games with the Rangers' American Association affiliate Oklahoma City 89ers, Frye was released. That same day, June 5, he was signed as a free agent with the Red Sox. He had a career year in 1997 when he hit .310 with 6 home runs in 127 games. He missed the entire 1998 season due to an injury but returned for the 1999 season, playing in 47 games. Frye became a bench player when the Red Sox signed second baseman Jose Offerman prior to the 1999 season and, on July 27, 2000, was traded to the Colorado Rockies with Brian Rose and John Wasdin in exchange for Rolando Arrojo, Rick Croushore and Mike Lansing. On December 11, 2000 he signed as a free agent with the Toronto Blue Jays. On August 3, 2001 at a game in the SkyDome, aphids were in the ballpark causing him to wear a mask on his face for the whole game. He made history on August 17, 2001 when he became only the second Blue Jay in history to hit for the cycle. The only other Blue Jays player to hit for the cycle was Kelly Gruber, who happened to be in attendance that day. Frye's final big league appearance came September 20, 2001 as he pinch-hit for catcher Darrin Fletcher in the 8th inning of a 12-6 loss to the Orioles. Frye flew out to left field and remained in the game at second base, replacing Homer Bush defensively. Currently retired, Frye now works as an agent and represents current MLB players, such as Ian Kinsler.
