INF/OF Jude Strahm (Brimfield, 2024) is a multi-positional prospect listed at a long-levered, projectable 6-foot-2, 180-pounds. As a 7.02 runner in the 60, Strahm’s athleticism plays up on the infield; ranging easily to both sides and utilizing accurate angles and routes to cut off balls - also showing similarly athletic actions from the outfield with soft hands at both positions and a strong arm (T87 OF; T81 INF). At the plate, the right-handed hitter has athletic, loose hands working uphill through the zone while flashing more jump off the barrel than we have seen in the past. Plenty of upside and projection left to tap into.

6-foot-1, 172-pound, right-handed hitting OF/INF, Jude Strahm (Brimfield, 2024), flashed bat speed, above-average hand strength and the ball jumps off the barrel at times. Defensively, Strahm’s arm strength from the outfield was noticeable, as he reached an 86 mph high to home from a clean, loose slot with true backspin to his target. There’s certainly more untapped velocity nestled inside his lanky frame as he continues to physically mature.
