LYNN (Video) Sal Frelick is no stranger to the Fraser Field faithful as he was named the Futures League’s Top Pro Prospect and a Perfect Game Summer Collegiate All-American while playing for North Shore in 2018. The Lexington, MA., native has starred in BC’s outfield since posting a .361 average with seven home runs, 36 RBI and 22 stolen bases as a Navigator that summer, earning New England Rookie of the Year honors among a host of others last spring. The 5-foot-9, 175-pound Frelick is a .332 career hitter who scored a team-leading 17 runs and swiped seven bags in 15 games this spring after pacing the Eagles’ offense with a .367 average as a rookie. Scouting Report: Outstanding athlete … left-handed hitter who flashes plus power … very good baserunner … can play all three outfield positions … MLB comp: J.D. Drew.

The Navs will open their season with one of the two Futures League games on the first Thursday of July, making a short trip north to Historic Holman Stadium in Nashua, N.H., to face the nearby rival Silver Knights for the first of 12 meetings between the teams this season.
The Navs’ home opener at Lynn’s 80-year-old Fraser Field is set for Tuesday, July 7 against the defending and four-time league champion Worcester Bravehearts. North Shore will play a total of 19 of its 39 regular-season games on home turf this summer.
In a change from the summer’s original plans, all Monday-Saturday home games will begin at 6 p.m., while the start time of Sunday home games remains at 4 p.m. The lone exception at this time will be on Sunday, August 16 when the Navs host the Westfield Starfires for a 2 p.m. doubleheader.
