Jason Andrew Frasor (b. August 9, 1977, in Chicago, Illinois) is a right-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who currently plays for the Toronto Blue Jays. He made his debut with the Blue Jays in 2004, and he had a respectable 4.08 ERA in 63 games. A starter in the low minors from 1999 to 2002, he was converted to a reliever in 2003. The Blue Jays acquired him from the Los Angeles Dodgers prior to the 2004 season in exchange for Jayson Werth. He was sent to the minors on April 28th 2006 and recalled on May 11, 2006.
Frasor's four-seam fastball can reach 96 mph. His straight curveball, which tends to run at about 75 mph, provides a sharp change of pace and makes him an effective strikeout pitcher. However, because of his short stature, Frasor must locate his pitches well to succeed. His mistakes tend to be very flat and are routinely hit hard.
On July 2, 2006, Frasor was demoted again to AAA; the Blue Jays recalled Shaun Marcum in his place.
Frasor is one of the few Blue Jays without regular entrance music at the Rogers Centre. His entry into games is usually accompanied by contemporary nu-metal music by bands such as Nickelback.
