Frazier attended Oconee County High School in Watkinsville, Georgia, graduating in 2010. While playing for the school's baseball team, Frazier recorded 53 doubles, the second most in the history of the Georgia High School Association.[1] Frazier enrolled at Mississippi State University to play college baseball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. He played sparingly as a freshman. In 2012, his sophomore year, Frazier set a Mississippi State record for assists in a season (227) and was named the most valuable player of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Baseball Tournament, and was chosen for the United States national collegiate baseball team.[2][3] In 2013, his junior season, he led the National Collegiate Athletic Association with 107 hits, which set a Bulldogs single-season record, while also setting school records for assists (240) and putouts (120) in a season, and putouts over a career (375).[4][5] He was named to the SEC All-Tournament Team.[4]
The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Frazier in the sixth round, with the 179th overall selection, of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft. Frazier signed with the Pirates, receiving a $240,600 signing bonus. He was assigned to the Jamestown Jammers of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League for the remainder of the 2013 season.[4] He played for the Bradenton Marauders of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League in 2014, finishing the season with a .252 batting average. In 2015, Frazier played for the Altoona Curve of the Class AA Eastern League,[6] and finished the season with a .324 batting average, the highest in the league.[7] After the season, Frazier played for the Glendale Desert Dogs of the Arizona Fall League[8] and the United States baseball team in the 2015 WBSC Premier12, and was named to the All-Premier 12 Team as a second baseman.[9]
