Frazier is a quarterfinalist for the Brooks Wallace Award, recognizing the National Player of the Year. He was named a First Team All-American by Collegiate Baseball last week.

Frazier broke the Rutgers single-season record for home runs (22), home runs by a leadoff hitter (22), runs scored (87), walks (62), doubles (24) and total bases (187), all set this season. He also finished second in slugging percentage (.757), second in at bats (247), tied for third in runs batted in (65), fifth in hits (93), and tied for sixth in stolen bases (25).
Frazier has also placed himself on several Rutgers career record charts through just three seasons. He is the Scarlet Knights all-time leader in home runs (42) and runs scored (210), and is second in walks (138) and total bases (434), and third in hits (241), slugging percentage (.625) and stolen bases (65), and fifth in runs batted in (152).
Frazier, who played with the USA Baseball National Team last summer, finished among the national leaders in home runs, walks and runs scored this season.
Rutgers, which won the BIG EAST Regular Season and Tournament titles, tied the school record for wins in a season with a 42-21 record in 2007. The Scarlet Knights entered the NCAA Championship ranked 23rd nationally.
