Except he really didn’t, and I’ll explain. I’m here to argue that the Cubs ought to bring back Strop for another season in 2020.
Strop had two stints on the injured list, one for a hamstring injury (on the other leg from the hamstring injury he suffered late in 2018) and one for “left neck tightness.” It’s pretty clear in looking at Strop’s numbers that these injuries had quite a bit to do with the poor statistical year he had in 2019.
You have probably forgotten — since we’d like to forget most of the 2019 season — that Strop actually started off the year pretty well.
