Strole emerged as one of the top arms in the class and holds significant upside within his 6-foot-3, 175 pound frame. Strole is athletic for his frame and offers quick, compact arm action that works uninterrupted to a 3/4 arm slot. The fastball lived in the zone at 82-84 mph, and he tunneled a tightly-spun, 75-77 mph slider off the fastball. His best offspeed pitch at the moment is his 74-77 mph splitter, a pitch that he kills spin on (1131) and generates 12" of horizontal movement with. Strole holds starter upside when considering the frame and arm action, and he shows a present ability to command all of his pitches.
