While his arm has shown flashes prior years, it is unremarkable following his surgery last year, and it’s indicative of the general point of view on Strosnider. People are remembering the flashes, and missing the numerous warning signs.
Sawyer Strosnider has been ranked as a 1st round pick all year. Although he has produced undeniably impressive pop, his 27% chase rate and 26.1% SweetSpot% are major concerns. He chases everything and has struggled heavily against lefties his entire career, and he can’t keep
ball off the ground. While the power is there, the hit tool is a 40 at best to me. On top of that, despite the fact that some see him as a pro CF, his 2.57 DRS in RF are extremely unimpressive, especially considering the level of athlete Strosnider is.
Taj Marchand SS James Island Charter
- Whippy barrel through the zone
- Hits off the front side but still consistently found the barrel to drive balls in the air
- Wiry frame with more power to come
- Top 40 pick👍

Aiden Ruiz SS | The Stony Brook School
- Elite bat to ball with bat speed. Made a big effort to pull the ball in the air sneaking a few out to the pull side. @willtdodge@ProspectsLive
@jsal307 Was curious about Swygart. It’s a very intriguing profile. Personally, my favorite pitchers to watch this year in the WCC were Hood and Kretsch though neither eligible I believe.
@lovelee_philly Interestingly, this photo is of Michael Conforto doubling off of Matt Cain in the bottom of the 2nd on April 30, 2016. René Rivera was on 2nd, HBP then Sac Bunt, and Asdrúbal Cabrera was on 1st from another HBP. Mets won 6-5. Conforto had an OPS of 1.079 then, and a .598 after.
