Daily News | Braves rookie Spencer Strider dominates Phillies again in 13-1 rout, a reminder of the need to hold tight to young pitching
ATLANTA — Spencer Strider stands barely 6 feet tall, but there’s fire in his right arm. And for seven innings Tuesday night, for the second time in a week, the Atlanta Braves rookie dialed up his low-effort, triple-digit fastball and overpowered the Phillies.
So when the Phillies were asked about their big three pitching prospects — and interest was “tremendous,” according to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski — they said, “No way.” They weren’t protective of all their prospects. Touted catcher Logan O’Hoppe went to the Angels for center fielder Brandon Marsh, and 6-foot-6 strikeout machine Ben Brown went to the Cubs for David Robertson. But the big three were off limits.
Strider held the Phillies to three hits in six innings last week in Philadelphia. He gave up three hits in 6⅔ innings this time but piled up 13 strikeouts and 20 swings and misses. In 12 starts for the Braves, Strider has a 3.02 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 62⅔ innings. And he’s part of a rotation that also includes homegrown Kyle Wright and Ian Anderson, plus Fried, the All-Star lefty who was acquired in a trade with San Diego and developed in Atlanta’s farm system.Knebel roughed up
