Traded to Pittsburgh with
Argenis Diaz for Adam LaRoche (July 2009)
Scouting Report:
Tall righty with projectable frame. Fastball sits about 88-91 mph, topping
out around 93. Fastball is a little flat, but shows some good
movement when he takes something off of it. Strickland has a slow,
easy delivery without much explosion at the moment. Good balance. Also
works in a 79-82 mph slurve along with a change that sits at 83-85 mph.
Changeup could stand to have some more separation from his fastball, look
for that to be an area of improvement in 2009. Repeats delivery well, needs to work on his
release point to improve his command. His father played in the Tigers
organization.
