Each season, you’ll see players get off to torrid starts, and some get off to subpar starts. KC Royals reliever Matt Strahm has been part of the latter. The lanky lefty has given up six earned runs in 1.2 innings to begin the 2017 season. And anyone watching theses early games knows the problem. Control. Strahm has walked three batters and struck out zero in his first two games. If you watched the 7th inning of the opener, you saw that he could not throw a strike.
