Re: Todd Frazier
They're both low-ball hitters who can drive the ball pretty well when out of the zone, which I imagine was the basis for comparison. I agree their peripherals aren't necessarily a perfect match, but I see some resemblance with their hot/cold zones.

Re: Todd Frazier
I thought there was a thread devoted solely to Frazier's "no-hand" home run, but haven't found it. Here's a blogpost I came across thru Reds Reporter's site about that feat:
