Good frame with broad sloped shoulders, Strickland stands in at 6-1/180.  The word steady comes to mind watching him move around.  He shows solid approach and good bat to ball skills.  The DNA of his swing is good, but he can get hard to his front side at times.  Defensively he shows all the requisite actions; ball goes into his glove clean and shows the footwork and athleticism to stick, and will make all the throws necessary to man the spot for the Jackets.  There is a reason shortstops get locked up by colleges early these days and it is apparent here.
