Braves Trade Deadline Targets: Marcus Stroman

In full disclosure, I might be a little biased when it comes to Marcus Stroman. He’s one of the most entertaining pitchers and personalities in baseball, in my opinion. He’s a tremendous athlete and competitor who plays with a lot of emotion. At only 5’8” and 180 pounds, Stroman is not your typical major league pitcher in any sense of the word. Due to his small frame, he won’t blow batters away with velocity. Therefore, he has a six-pitch arsenal and has only thrown his fastball 3.6% of the time, per Statcast. He will even change his delivery to disrupt a hitter’s timing.
