At Citi Field on Tuesday, nine hours before Todd Frazier was scheduled to take the field against the Chicago Cubs, a group of about 100 Little League players took to the outfield to learn how to hit like a major leaguer. They were told to use Frazier, the Mets’ two-time All-Star third baseman — and a founder of the baseball camp that the young players were attending — as a prime example of what not to do.

“How many times has he done this?” Rocco Mellott, one of the camp’s coaches, said as he held his bat high and stuck his butt out before unfurling a less-than-textbook swing.

Mellott, a longtime friend of the Frazier family, then offered a curt assessment of his boss’s prowess with a bat.

“He’s an average hitter, but he gets the job done.”

Frazier has, at times, been one of the better hitters in Major League Baseball. He has also had his fair share of weird swings. Sometimes his exuberance resulted in viral moments, like in Game 3 of the 2017 American League Championship Series, when he slapped at an extremely low pitch and managed to knock it out of the park. That one is still talked about at his camp.
