Spencer Strider s MLB journey

Spencer Strider was originally drafted by the then-Cleveland Indians in the 35th round of the 2017 MLB Draft. He forewent the chance and instead committed to playing college ball for Clemson. In 2020, he was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the fourth round of that year's draft. Starting in 2021, he spent his time playing for the Braves' minor league system. On October 1 of the same year, he made his major league debut when he came in relief in a game against the New York Mets. With the Braves floundering and 8.5 games behind the Mets, skipper Brian Snitker made a change in his starting rotation and inserted Strider in the starting five on May 30, 2022. The rookie hasn't looked back ever since and has powered the Braves back to relevancy in the NL East. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Diptanil Roy × Feedback Thank You!
