In his one start this year, Strider's fastball velocity was down 2 MPH from his last full year (2023). Out most of 2024 with elbow surgery, then had a hamstring at the start of this year, so this is only his second start and 3rd since 2023.
Parker's mix of good and bad highlighted by the high BB rate and the low HR rate. BB rate reverted to his minor league performance after limiting BBs last year.
