Strider is the first Braves rookie and first Brave 23 or younger of to record 200 strikeouts in a season during the modern era (since 1900).
He's also the first MLB rookie to record a 200-strikeout season since Yu Darvish in 2012.
Pretty cool moment after the Braves swept the Marlins. The Marlins gifted everyone in the Braves organization a gift basket and wished them the best of luck in the postseason.
They’re now chopping in solidarity on the field.
The Braves have agreed to terms with first-rounder Owen Murphy (No. 20 overall) for $2,556,900 (full slot value: $3,409,200), per @jimcallisMLB.
