As I (Mikey) wrote about Noah Syndergaard, Stroman is versatile enough that he can succeed in several different ways. Given that Rodriguez got five years, we might see him pick the team that’s willing to give him that fifth year. Given his combination of a longer track record and more upside, I figure that Stroman will get at least $20 million a year, over at least four years. Stroman isn’t dissimilar in terms of production from Eduardo Rodriguez, who got five years and $77 million, which makes for a $15.4 million AAV. That might not seem overly exciting, but Stroman is a decent bet to exceed those projections, and he’s also projected for the eighth-highest average annual value (AAV) on his contract, via FanGraphs’ crowdsource. Stroman is known for being prideful of how well he takes care of his body, and it seems that it pays dividends: even after Stroman tore his ACL injury he was back on the mound within six months of his surgery.Īccording to Steamer, Stroman is projected for the eighth-highest fWAR in 2022 out of all of the starting pitchers who entered free agency. Aside from a torn ACL in 2015 and some minor injuries in 2018, Stroman hasn’t missed much time, and he’s been a lock for about 3.5 fWAR in each of those seasons. Something that Stroman offers more than any other free agent targets at starting pitcher is that he’s been just about as consistent and durable as they come. He leans most heavily on an extremely heavy sinker that allows him to generate a lot of ground balls and weak contact. He’s a complete pitcher, flexing a five-pitch repertoire with one of the most robust seam-shifted wake profiles in MLB.
Of all of the starting pitchers available, Stroman might represent the lowest risk. He’s not exactly putting Dipoto’s feet directly to the fire, but he’s cranking up that space heater for sure. Sending you all the blessings!- Marcus Stroman November 25, 2021Īs we must with everything online, take Stroman’s reply with a grain of salt here. Happy Thanksgiving to both of y’all and your families. For real! I guess we’ll see if your front office is on the same page.
