Player Notes
| The Tupelo, Mississippi native may never become more famous than his hometown’s most notable native (Elvis something), but being a former first-round draft pick and a newly-minted big league pitcher is as good a place to start as any. The former SEC Pitcher of the Year while at Mississippi State, he is expected to pitch out of the bullpen in his first stint in the majors. Between Richmond (Double-A) and Sacramento in 2015, Stratton combined to go 5-10 with a 3.95 ERA in 26 starts, striking out 111 while walking 62 and allowing 128 hits in 148 innings. In 2014, between San Jose (High A) and Richmond, he was 8-9 with a 4.80 ERA in 24 games, fanning 120 and walking 48 with 132 hits allowed in 122 innings. |
