Another uncommitted junior arm with an impressive showing this past weekend was RHP Cade Strathman (McPherson, 2026). An effortless mover on the mound, Strathman possesses a projectable 6-foot, 169-pound frame with a clean arm action and the ability to command both sides of the zone with all three pitches. The righty’s fastball played at 82-84 mph with a considerable amount of sink. Paired with that was an impressive slider at 72-73 mph with 2,200 RPM and a low spin, tumbling changeup at 75-76 mph.
