Jake Fraley

The Cincinnati Reds are not having a very good 2022 Major League Baseball season, sitting with just a 48-75 record in late August. Naturally, that would have some members of the clubhouse a little bit frustrated. And that frustration appeared to boil over on Thursday night when outfielder Jake Fraley got into an argument with a group of Philadelphia Phillies fans.

In a viral video shared by Chris Devine, an angry Fraley can be seen not-so-politely asking some Phillies fans to be quiet.

Fraley appears to ask a man why he has a problem with him but the Reds outfielder is repeatedly told that “he’s got the wrong guy.” Eventually, Fraley walks away after telling the group of fans to “shut the f*** up.”

While it’s unclear what ultimately started the viral altercation, security escorted the group of fans out of the stadium, according to Devine, who recorded the video.

Even though they had to watch the remainder of the game outside of Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies fans were likely pleased at the game’s result as Philadelphia beat the Reds 4-0 to complete a four-game sweep of Cincinnati. Fraley, meanwhile, went 0-for-4 in the game with two strikeouts.
