Pedro Strop was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles along with Jake Arrieta in 2013 for Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger. Since then, he’s been one of the most consistent relievers in the Chicago Cubs’ pen. How has his 2017 season been up to this point?
In his time on the North Side, the right-hander has been impressive. He owns a 2.78 ERA with 270 strikeouts in 223 1/3 innings. Furthermore, he boasts a 2.92 FIP and 31.3 strikeout percentage. Strop is a safe bet to put up a zero in an inning at least eight out of 10 times.
