Spencer Strider has been on quite the journey over the past sixteen months.
Strider was called up by the Braves on Friday and made his big league debut and made his big league debut in Atlanta's 4-3 loss to the Mets on Friday night. The hard-throwing right-hander threw a complete inning in the seventh, allowing two hits, one of which was a solo home run.
However, the box score doesn't exactly tell the entire story. Strider threw a total of ten four-seam fastballs in the frame, each touching at least 98 mph on the radar gun. One reached 100 mph.
