Kansas City Royals: Matt Strahm, Starter Or Reliever?

After the Kansas City Royals picked him in the 21st round out of Neosho County Community College in 2012, Matt Strahm has steadily put himself on the prospect radar. In the past couple of years, Strahm has added weight to his frame, velocity to his pitches, and has tweaked his delivery. Strahm found himself in AA to start out 2016, performing pretty admirably. Then because of an innings limit, Strahm was moved to the bullpen to July, preparing for a September call-up. But that call a bit earlier. A Wade Davis DL stint in late July sent Strahm to Kansas City to get his first taste of the bigs at age 24.
