Dave Frost’s career highlights

Frost, who was born in Long Beach, attended Stanford. In the 18th round in the 1974 draught, the White Sox made a selection of the 6-foot-6 pitcher. Three years later, with Chicago, he made it to the major leagues through his pitching.

As part of a rookie season that included four appearances, Frost made his MLB debut against the Halos. In exchange for three-time All-Star Bobby Bonds (as well as then-prospects Thad Bosley and Richard Dotson), the Sox sent him to California during the 1977–1978 winter along with outfielder Brian Downing and right-hander Chris Knapp.

The majority of Frost’s career would be spent playing in Southern California. Between 1978 and 1981, he pitched for the Halos, leading the team with 239 1/3 innings across 36 appearances in 1979.

The best season of Frost’s career saw him throw 12 complete games while maintaining a 3.57 ERA. In the end, he pitched 445 1/3 innings for the Angels throughout four seasons, recording a 3.90 ERA and striking out 181 batters.

Frost met the criteria for free agency following the 1981 campaign. He signed with the Royals and played in Kansas City for one injury-plagued season.

He was discharged after throwing 81 2/3 innings and recording a 5.51 ERA. Frost would play at Triple-A for one more season but never again received a chance to play in the major leagues.

Frost retired from playing at the age of thirty. Over the course of a six-season career, the right-hander played for three MLB teams. He won 33 games while tossing 550 2/3 innings with a 4.10 ERA, 222 strikeouts, and 222 walks.
