Under 8.5-110

S.Strider u17.5 Outs+105

Strider is extremely good, but tends to throw a high number of pitches per PA. He averaged 99 pitches in his 8 starts that went 6 innings last year, so it seems like it’ll be tough for him to get there with a fairly strict pitch count in his first start of the season.
