Stroman is going to be a big part of these kids development when they reach the majors. You could see the impact that he already had on the likes of Ryan Borucki and others last season. Stroman is a big personality but he is also respected in the room and has the track record in the majors to back it up.

You get the feeling he takes great pride in mentoring the rookies and truly loves playing in Toronto and in front of an entire county. Stroman gets it and puts himself out there which sometimes leads to unnecessary criticism from the peanut gallery.

Regardless, Stroman is bang on, the crop of talent honing their craft in the minors is second to none and there is a ton to be excited about for 2019 and beyond. If the “Stro-Show” is excited then you should be too.
