Strater

10.28.17 Still uncommitted, Strater is going to be a valuable addition to a recruiting class with his ability to play two premium positions. He is a versatile, gritty player at 5-foot-8, 170-pounds, with solid defensive skills behind the plate and real presence. He has a quick arm stroke from back to front with a clean release and good rhythm in his feet. Threw 74 mph from the crouch, with pop times ranging from 2.05-2.19. Blocked and received well during the game, showed solid hip mobility and soft hands. The right-handed hitter showed good power during batting practice with easy leverage and lift, launching balls deep to the outfield, including a homerun. Strater has a stacked, relaxed setup with quiet rhythm, short stride as his hands load back, lands balanced. Hands get slotted early getting the barrel on plane with a fluid path, loose finish, and an exit velocity of 85 mph off the tee. On the infield, Strater has fundamental footwork, plays low with soft hands out front, and can make the play on the run. Strong arm across the diamond at 86 mph with accurate throws.
