The Bullpups secured third place in the tournament, a result that reflects Strathman’s dual impact both at the plate and on the mound.
A Dual Threat on the Diamond
At the plate he reached base an astonishing .818 in just 11 appearances, drawing five walks and being hit by a pitch twice, while also contributing two hits.
On the mound he logged a 1‑1 record with a 3.65 ERA over two starts, showing the composure needed for high‑stakes games.
