About
Born on May 25, 1995, Jake Arnold Fraley is a baseball player by profession playing for the Seattle Mariners in the Major League Baseball (MLB). He comes from a humble background, with his father Marvin working as a salesman and his mother Traci working in safety and security.
Fraley chose LSU (Louisiana State University) as he wanted to be a part of the best college baseball team in the country. Other reasons for opting for LSU are the best coaching staff in college baseball, an excellent fan base, and the level of academics. He ultimately majored in Sports Administration from Louisiana State University.
Fraley played baseball while attending the Caravel Academy in Bear, Delaware. His batting average was .536 as a junior and .492 as a senior. He was then named in Louiseville Slugger’s All-American first team and All-State first team.
After enrolling in the Louisiana State University, Fraley started playing in their baseball team, the LSU Tigers.

After being promoted to the major league, he debuted with the Seattle Mariners against the Tampa Bay Rays. Then, in a match against the Detroit Tigers, Fraley made a leaping catch to send back the rookie Issac Paredes, robbing him of a home run, which later turned out to be a pivotal point in that match victory.
