"Strider went three-up and three-down in the first inning before running into a little bit of trouble in the second inning when he gave up his only run of the day on a sacrifice fly from Coby Mayo. That came after Adley Rutschman smacked a 93-mph heater from Strider that was high and in the zone for a double."
"Strider also picked up a pair of strikeouts along the way and aside from giving up two hits and a run, that was his only blemish on the day. Strider spoke with the media while the game was still going on and he seemed like he was fine with how things went on the day."
"It was also interesting to see that he did hear all of the speculation about the radar guns being turned off for his live BP sessions and the sarcasm he displayed near the end of this clip from Braves beat writer Mark Bowman of MLB.com suggests that he's likely not too worried about it."
Spencer Strider made his spring training debut, pitching two innings and recording a three-up, three-down first inning before encountering trouble in the second. He surrendered one run on a sacrifice fly by Coby Mayo following Adley Rutschman's double off a 93-mph fastball. Strider struck out two batters and allowed two hits total. He expressed satisfaction with his outing during a media interview and displayed sarcasm regarding speculation about radar guns being turned off during his live batting practice sessions. Martin Pérez followed with two clean innings, though Rutschman hit a solo home run off him. Braves pitchers subsequently dominated, with José Suarez and Javy Guerra contributing additional scoreless innings.
