Hitting
The book on Frederick is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
Frederick isn't a fluid shortstop, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. Buzz's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Frederick is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.
2025 Outlook
Frederick has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
