University of Vermont Athletic Hall of Fame
Brady Frost 1993 - Baseball
One of the top baseball pitchers ever for the Catamounts, Brady Frost, inducted into the UVM Hall of Fame in 2004, was selected to the All-North Atlantic Conference, All-New England, All-Northeast Region and All-ECAC teams in back-to-back seasons. His teammates also voted him the team's Larry Gardner Most Valuable Player in 1992 and 1993.
He left the Catamounts tied with UVM Hall of Famer Dick Cassani '63 as the school's all-time leader in victories with 21 and ranked in the top ten in seven different career statistical categories. In 1992 he became the first Vermont pitcher ever to be selected to the all-conference first team and only one named to the first team until Jamie Merchant '03 was named in 2003. "He was the best big-game pitcher we have had during my time at UVM," said his coach, Bill Currier. "He was also a tremendous leader, which was a key part to our success during his time".
A native of Concord, N.H, Frost earned a spot in the weekend rotation after his first two seasons. After going 5-7 as a freshman and sophomore, he went 16-3 his last two years.
As a junior in 1992 he became the team's number one starter and went 7-2 with a 2.62 ERA as the Cats won a then-school-record 28 wins and finished third in the ECAC Championship (which then included all Northeast region schools except the Ivy League and Big East). The Catamounts also were the top-ranked team in New England. He was named first-team all-conference and All-ECAC and second-team All-New England.
He again was outstanding as a senior going 9-1 with a 3.38 ERA as the team went 25-18. In 72 innings, he struck out 49 while walking only 14. Also a team co-captain, he led the conference in wins with his last victory a six-hitter in defeating UNH in the NAC quarterfinals. He was named to the all-conference second team, first-team All-ECAC and was the top vote getter on the All-New England team. After the season, he was the starting pitcher at the New England All-Star game at Fenway Park.
Following graduation, he signed with the Montreal Expos organization and pitched for the Vermont Expos of the New York-Penn League in their inaugural season in 1994.
